KNUCKLES
weights before dates
This weekend’s matchups between the Cowboys & Broncos and the Sea Eagles & Warriors will be competed with a number of rule changes being trialled
• Referees who believe a try has been scored will award the try without consulting the Bunker, and up until the conversion attempt is taken the Bunker will be able to review the try and overturn the decision
• Clubs will nominate 10 ‘forwards’ among their 17 man squads and only those select players will be able to pack into the scrum
• Kicks in play that go into touch other than a 40/20 or 20/40 will now result in a handover rather then a scrum
• After a Six Again has been awarded all defending players except those who have taken up a position at marker(s) must ‘retire 10 metres from the point at which the ball is played or to their own goal line’
What do you think about these new changes? Are you looking forward to seeing them trialled?
