Quote: KaeruJim "Everyone there could see the academy games were a disaster and the players were as frustrated as the speccies.
I just don’t believe the tackle height rule will do anything to actually prevent head injury, but everything to destroy the game.
The current rules are more than sufficient to manage the risks. They would literally get better results addressing the drinking/drugs culture than this silly farce.'"
Yep. I honestly thought - after seeing a couple of games - that they would scrap it and try and come up with something else. I've been watching the sport for 45 years now and it's changed substantially over that period, but it's always been unmistakably RL. The trial games bore no relation to that sport. Are they bringing similar rules into the NRL?
