Quick question of the experts: We had a kid yellow carded for not having the captains arm band on at Mid North Coast in the 17s. Would not have minded but he got a second one later and off.
Seems strange to me. Our captain was on the bench at that stage and we had not swapped over.....
That seems a little harshOriginally Posted by late_to_the_game
Harsh indeed. One might ask how the ref identified this player as the captain if he was not wearing an armband? Did the player make a false representation in absentia?
Having quickly checked the 17 laws of the game I found no reference for the need for a team to have a captain, nor an armband being part of the clothing requirements. There may, however, be a rule set in place by the local association that insists on both a captain and armband.
Regardless, the unwritten Law "18" of common sense by the referee could have been used to ask the captain to nominate his successor when he left the pitch.

Would love to have him coaching my son. He did some sessions with a group of Magic kids I was coaching prior to them trialling for the Elite 15's a couple of years ago, and he had an impact after only a couple of weeks.
Anyone see the top of the table clash in the 15s last weekend? I know score was 4-3 to Magic. Must have been a tight battle. Who would you pick to finish on top come seasons end.
In the words of Pilot.................................oh oh oh its magic............................................. .
Magic got away to a 4-0 lead thanks to a couple of penalties and Hamilton finished over the top of them. Too early to tell but I think Olympic.
Don't know what game you were watching. Magic dominated the first 30 mins and yes 2 penalties, but they dominated. Took the foot off the gas and to their credit Olympic came back and played well. The rest of the contest was fairly even, with the score at 4-2 for a lot of the second half, with Olympic converting their own penalty with the last kick of the game. Overall, Magic the better side!
This weekends 15s fixtures could give us a better idea of who are genuine contenders. The grand final replay between CCB and Olympic should be a cracker, although a loss for les bleus would really set them back. And I wouldn't write off the Jets against Magic. Adamstown seem to be big improvers and Weston with a win could further their claim for a top 4 finish. This weekend could sort out the real contenders or totally open up the table.
Don't be surprised if only 4 points separate the top 7 teams come Sunday afternoon with the 2 teams at the tail having a game in hand.
Good luck to all and hope the weather stays ok.
The 15s table is interesting and close - CCB only conceding two goals in four games - so both losses by one. Next closest is 6. Normally defence that good has you higher up the table.
Not if you don't score goals
Hang on where is captain obvious.....
