I don't totally disagree with you, but the shoulder charge is a bad example in my opinion, which just like the spear tackle for example, can maim a player for life if not worse, as has happened. I also do think the concussion protocol is a good thing, because of its potential long term consequences, and I doubt anyone would sign up to play a sport that can cause you permanente brain damage!

The discussion around the hip drop tackle is a valid one though. While it can cause injuries, those are not of the life threatening kind, and that should be accepted as part of a high contact sport such as Rugby League. That's where I draw the line.

Can i ask, who was the last player that was maimed for life by a shoulder charge? I get a spear tackle, that **** can straight kill a guy, and there has been examples of people getting seriously injured by them.

But regardless of the example, you see my point.
At some stage, you have to walk away from a sport if you find it too dangerous etc.

Car racing kills participants all the time, but that's not banned.
Players know full well the risks of playing a contact sport and still sign up because thats part of the attraction.

Im not saying RL should be a blood bath either, as you said Porthoz, there are some things that are blatantly dangerous and should be banned outright, but this is a contact sport, and you will NEVER mitigate the risk entirely until you stop it being a contact sport, which is what is slowly slowly happening to RL.

Pongas positioning in a sliding defence is horrific, he is definitely not accustomed to the line the way he is playing.

Ponga needs to go to FB or the bench. He's a liability.
