| 1 - Legitimate shoulder charge (not head high) allowed
2 - Consistent length of time per 'held' call when players are tackled and held up - all players to release on that call - any slow release, or taking player to ground after call to be penalised
3 - Held call once ball carrying arm hits floor with consistent time allowance for defenders to clear (no 'dominant tackles allowing extra wrestle and hold time) - penalty for slow release
4 - Penalise simulation
5 - Same as everyone else with scrap the foot over the line in goal ruling
6 - No more 'on report' - if something deserves a ban, then surely it deserves a red card? Simply let the referee take action on the field, all matches are then reviewed and if someone is banned and the ref took no action, then that's is a fail for the ref and can be dealt with by the head of refs as part of their performance management protocols (which should be defined and consistent)
I wouldn't be keen on contested scrums, play the balls or strips (other than 1 on 1) - too messy and will deter flair play, as teams will be too focussed on ensuring the ball is completely secure - one handed offloads and flick passes would be gone.

| 1) Maximum 2 defenders in the tackle in opponents half.
2) Tackle count re-starts when the ball is carried into opponents half.
To me this would reduce wrestling, reduce the number of kicks near the line (wouldn't want to give 20m re-start away), encourage teams to play from their own half & probably even up possession & territory as most turnovers will result in an attacking set.

| One set of rules to be played to throughout the world.
Play the ball, with the foot, if not a penalty

| 4. If the ref actually knows it's a try or it's not a try he should give that decision, if he's not sure he should not be guessing at what he thinks it might be ever!.'" ]
So we abandon a game and play it again if they didn't see? Be a heck of a lot of abandoned games if so!
Ref call is the best of a bad system. The ref gives the decision that would have been made in any case without the cameras there- how it should be IMO! If Sky want to replay it ad-finitum for the tv viewers then so be it- but let the ref make the decision as refs do in thousands of games every weekend. Often guessing at what he (or she) thinks it might be!!!!!!
Playing it back at super slow speed, pixel by pixel to overturn a decision is just bonkers and not at all how most games are refereed!

| Bin off video ref.
Two clubs relegated every year. 1. The loser of the million pound game. 2. The result of lottery from the clubs in the top 8 that takes place immediately after the SL Grand final.
Clubs promoted are top 4 from middle 8 and winner of mpg which will now be 5 & 6 in the middle 8.
No more sl contracts for players only full time and part time.
Main advantages of this system are:
1. Raising of standards in Championship - this will inevitably increase the player pool bringing about improvements in the England team.
2. Increase interest in the game bringing more income into the game through sponsorship revenue.
3. RFL love a gimmick and this is the ultimate.
Imagine how much better last nights bore fest would have been had we gotten to see Lenaghan and Wane's faces as Lizzie Jones and Matt Baker from the one show pull Wigan's ball out of the velvet bag condemning them to the Championship?

| Scrums should always be 6 against 6 even when a team has a player binned or sent off.

| One other thing I'd want to look at is where a foul leads to a player being injured off, but for whatever reason the ref deems the foul not worthy of sending off. I understand why, because sending off has a major impact in a game.
However, in the NRL GF the Sharks lost Feki, a specialist winger to injury when he was lifted beyond the vertical. It was a penalty but ended his involvement. Personally I don't want to see tries scored because a winger/centre has gone off, or a team down a halfback through foul play. So my solution would be an extended bench for all teams, but the extra players only to be available if the injury is a result of a foul, and the injured player is then ineligible to return to the field no matter how they recover. It would also have to be an independent ruling by a doctor on whether the injury is game-ending.
I know there would be all sorts of claims about how the system could be worked, but nowadays in defence particularly, the loss of specialist players really hurts. Losing them to injury without foul play is fair enough, but I'd hate to have seen the Storm score tries down their right once Feki was hurt.

This is a sensible suggestion and one I've thought about in the past. It would have to be very carefully thought out as to how to introduce, possibly using the 4th official looking at replays to determine whether foul has occurred.

I understand what you are saying here but, the answer is to deal more harshly with the player(s) that caused the injury.
To increase the bench, just in case seems like using a sledge hammer to crack a nut.
Annoying as it is, how many times in a season does your scenario happen.
The "extra" players would be well brassed off if they had been bench warmers all season, never getting a game etc.

| For me just apply all the rules at the play the as they are written, play the ball with the foot every time, players must regain their feet & not place the ball then get up. penalise moving off the mark every time. It would slightly slow the ruck down but would stop the need for wrestling fooling around in the tackle. I would like to see throwing the ball dead made a penalty (it used to be in one off the codes) you should have to mark it (clean catch) or touch it down to earn a drop out. Also having a foot in touch or dead in goal should be deemed as tacking the ball out of play resulting in a drop out of scrum against your team. I can see the merit of getting rid of the video ref but would be happy with the system improving.
