I believe that there is already a lot kickback from the community side of the game but unfortunately this will have zero impact. Young kids play the sport because of the physicality of the game. As I said previously these changes may just be the thin end of the wedge and further changes will dilute the game to tick and pass if we are not careful. Nothing wrong with tick and pass but it isn’t a long term spectator sport.
Not sure that if SL did break away they would rescind the below the armpit tackling.
Well, it certainly won't happen if they all get on board with this garbage.
But I consider myself a lifelong Wigan supporter. Have been following them since the late 1960s, and was there for all the home games even during their period in the 2nd Division, but hand on heart, I can honestly say that I've got doubts about whether I can stick this one out.
For the first time in my life, I'm contemplating a future without rugby league, and I while I can't speak for anyone else, I strongly suspect that I won't be alone.
