Crusher tackles will now draw a minimum one-game ban as the NRL attempts to curb a "concerning increase" in the dangerous tackling technique's use.
The ARL Commission has announced a separate 'crusher tackle' charge has been added to the game's judiciary code effective immediately after head of football Graham Annesley flagged several grade one offences this year that had not resulted in suspension.
