Has anyone heard how PNU's players are doing after their loss to Karori? They suffered 2 concussions and a potentially serious knee injury apparently. 

I'd also say, that turf didn't seem particularly safe for play when I was there a few weeks prior to the PNU Karori game...there are some covers in place where different posts can be fitted, but the turf on those coverings had worn away leaving just exposed wood in 4 places on each goal line. Plus the rugby posts that are attached to the football posts actually sit slightly in front of the crossbar, meaning a ball could be in play but hit the rugby posts. Seems like a terrible venue for a Central League game to be held.
Surely the posts could be lifted out and just the goals used? A corner can not go out but hit the upright and be called a goal kick (shouldn’t be really but that’s what I’ve seen).

I see there is a 2027 NL points table out for all the leagues. It seems weird to me taking the number of teams in the league into account. Then also not excluding the Nix from that. 
Yeah I agree the dual goal system is not ok for CL, do rugby players even like playing on turf?

And I hope the PNU players are ok :/

I too saw the qualification things. So weird. It simultaneously includes them (ie they are in the league, affect points/affect where teams finish up and are counted in total team numbers) but then aren’t included in finishing positions which in my opinion they should be. Or just have them not play for points at all? Seems a bit half way harry no?
