Wonder why it isn't happening in the NRL. I've not seen a current player on social media support the changes, lots have been very vocal against it, surley you could get professional players to sign waivers.

Haven't seen Simms hit, would it have been legal with next years rules?

Unsure on the nrl, maybe there's a bigger budget for player insurance with higher revenues? What will be interesting is future international matches from 2025 onwards - which tackle rules do they follow?

No idea, but I'd probably guess their rules, which would give us a big disadvantage.

They are hot on yellows, very few reds, I'm sure last season there were only 4 red cards all season.

NZ Warriors Maiu'u copped a straight red in yesterdays game .

Excellent article from Walmsley I'm sure his thoughts are echoed by most players. Hope the players can have some impact into the new rules. https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/ru ... s-28660188

Yep, it was worst than any red we saw this weekend in SL, direct shoulder to the head, absolutely no attempt to tackle the man.

It’s things like this why I’m not overly concerned with the team’s discipline. Penalties like this make it seem worse than it is.

They definitely need to have a say in the way game develops especially as these changes are ostensibly for their benefit.

I think if enough players /coaches & fans kick up a stink about it , The RFL would have to hear their concerns .
