I'm sure that was a Super League rule
NRL are committing suicide

Always been different interpretations of the rules for origin, be interesting to see what happens

Why would it be any different than year's past? The farcical rules will be relaxed.
Long as Manly are hitting form I don't give a Rats.
The send off's I thought were ok ....high shots to the head including Pap for Storm stretched off in a brace.
When players lay down for the soccer penalty I give them 5m in the bin, but we want the tackles below the neck and maybe due to the high octane speed of today's game it's harder to execute, but if you don't- interchange or run the risk - simple

That's what I'm saying, always less penalties, let the game flow
I understand the sentiment. I even understand the motivation. Mum's are not going to let their boys play a game where the participants are knocked senseless. Even though mini and mod league are almost as safe as playing tennis.
But the way they've gone about it has been an epic fail.
If it's a bad one, all well and good. But most of the sin bins this weekend have been a joke. And it ruins the game. Affects the result in a lot of instances. A tackler goes in for a tackle and at the last millisecond, the target changes. I feel sorry for them. How are you supposed to adjust when you're already committed ?
They better do something because you can't have the game refereed like it was this weekend.

Mate, I disagree completely. Take off the rose coloured glasses you're wearing after our 50-4 win. Something stinks when a man is forced to turn off the football twice on a Sunday afternoon - and passionate league fans watch a soccer game between Adelaide and Brisbane in the Oaks Hotel.
We should have smelt a rat when the NRL started forcing touch forty down our throats as HT entertainment. I'd take a game of A-grade every time over the sh1t I glimpsed today.
What an utter farce Magic Round has been.
Coaches could well tell players to duck or slide into tackles in coming games.
It will only be a matter of time when we get hurt in a game with players sent for accidental contact to the head.
The officials certainly owned magic round not the players.
There doesn’t look to have been to much thought put into the decision with any contact to the head is ten in the bin.

Hi Peter...
One swallow doesn't make a summer. Thanks for the comp last year but that doesn't leave you above criticism for some of the stupid things you've done, like destroy the contest and give a profession two days to completely eradicate what it has been doing for over 100 years.

It felt a bit like watching a 9s tournament, first few tries, wow that was spectacular, but very soon, oh, another, ho hum. The switch off and find something better to do.

Don't get me wrong, I don't like seeing players taken off with concussion but there needed to be a more systematic and sensible approach taken with it...not this black and white, two day old mandate to punish accidents to the point where teams are completely screwed without warning. It dictated results this weekend and that's not on.

If they leave the rule in and stick to it who knows, it might even work. But does anyone think they will actually do that?

If any positives come out of this knee-jerk crackdown one might be the return of the legs tackle. But the only way that would work is if the ref rewarded such scything tackles by allowing the tackler to get to his feet and return to the defensive line before the tackled player plays the ball.
I used to enjoy watching a low tackle (performed by such players as Allan Thompson, Ian Martin, Randall, Vautin, Beaver etc) as much as a clever run. It's been missing from the sport for the past 20 years, and I welcome its return.

I bet there will be no back down - even in origin.
Give it two weeks and there will be no head contact in the game.
They stamped out shoulder charges, chicken wings, cannon balls other illegal tackles out of the game the same way. This is no different.
Manly led the way and proved to be one of the smartest teams. That's the way the game is from now on.

Agree, under the old rule the saints bloke still would have been sent off.
You can disagree as can I
Fact is they were lopsided teams this weekend....that is more the issue than head high tackles
Let's wait til next week before jumping off cliffs

Great - another feckin rule change. How about we leave the game as is. If a player causes a HIA through foul play he goes to the bin or gets sent off, and the opposing team get to sub in a player. Have an extra two players - an 18th and 19th man - from the development squad, and get on with it.
