If you ever get a chance to read about the Walker brothers and their approach to coaching then you won't be disappointed. Interesting to see Billy Slater put out a tweet saying something like 'god forbid anyone does anything different to what we're used too and we might discover a new way to do things'. Plenty in the British game could/should listen to that comment.

Agree with what you say about the penalty for going for the arm at the PTB and it being a penalty and no issue with that. Also agree that it hasnt been communicated very well as usual.

Also agree with some of your ideas particularly the high tackle when a player is falling etc.

As an aside
Can you tell me the latest on the rule they brought in 18months ago were if a player is injured and the game stops they should leave the field for the next set?

I got frustrated in the HKR game that they had 4/5 stoppages at ultra convenient times and no players left the field.
Against wakey away it happened about 7 times and usually when wakey kicked to us we makenthe first tackle or if a player made a break then the wakey player would go down injured and game stopped, yet no player was asked to leave field.

It happened 3 or 4 times against wire, only then on about the 4th or 5th a wore player was asked to leave the field for a set?

As an aside
Bringing all these rules in that coaches and players then try to find ways around which intu4n brings in more rules is killing the game.
Along with players diving around like theyve been shot when they are hit a millisecond late or tapped on the face.

Missed first 10mins (decided have an extra pint in pub)

In the next 20mins already hudds have gone down with an injury on turn over of possession 4 x times

Every set they seemed to milk it, they even got the game stopped with a player off the pitch
