My worry is that after these changes are enacted and the number of head injuries do not come down what comes next? Very worrying times. I was chatting to a guy about this a few weeks ago and I predicted that the game as we know it will be gone within the next 15 years.
I’m with you in that more injuries could occur due to lower tackling.
If all of this goes through unchallenged, we won't last even 15 years as a professional sport.
The game is already riddled with penalties incurred by accidental (and even soft) contact with the head. Imagine how it will look when penalties are awarded for the same with the shoulder.
It's just not possible to play rugby league under those circumstances.
This whole business is sheer nonsense devised by a bunch of people who have no empathy with the game at all and are jumping on a health concerns bandwagon just to make themselves relevant (and rich).
And it will be at the expense of our game.
The RFL are too thick, too gullible and too chicken###t to push back.
I honestly believe the only future we have now is if SL breaks away.
