A couple of thoughts:
Where does Swift go from here, he is not on loan, nor on DR (as far as I know) and he is getting no game time.
I would love to see more end of season internationals and like you say tests against some of the Pacific Island nations would probably make great viewing.
If we cannot get a proper test then go for an exiles game.
I like the idea of a discount for homegrown players on the SC.
If we go to a 14 team SL there will probably be a couple of teams that may struggle for a while, but I would see that as part of the learning and leveling up process.
I would much prefer 14 with straight home and aways. Maybe because I have never been, but the Magic W/E doesn't do anything for me.
You were right to say we do not have enough Refs, but how do we remedy that: more money, more PR at schools, at amateur rugby etc??
With regard to two questions which overlapped a bit on the Disciplinary, I would like to see suspensions activated when the same two teams meet next time, and if for some reason the offending player is not with the club the following season, then the player allocated his number to not be available for selection for that game.
I would also like the disciplinary to be able to view videos from previous similar offences and to use precedents for punishments.
