Another rule change that is going to rely on refereeing interpretation. That shouldn't cause any problems...

The game doesn't need shoulder charges - correct technique will deliver the same result without the risk of what happened to Hardaker last week. Perhaps all those baying for the shoulder charges thought what happened to Hardaker was ok? acceptable colateral!!

id like to see the reasoning, rather than just research has proved its bad.

More concussions happen from tackling low and catching the hip of the ball runner. Time to ban low tackles as well?

Not convinced either way, In my opinion the thing that needed sorting was the third the man putting the shoulder in when the ball carrier is held & defencless. Do we now stop the ball carrier driving into contact with his shoulder? As said we are backed down this route because the the NRL just do as they please & stuff the rest.

As said before on other threads, keep the shoulder charge but have straight reds and long bans when people get it wrong.

First they came for the shoulder charge, and I didn't speak out because I'm unable to engage in logical reasoning.
Then they came for the kick-offs, and I didn't speak out because I'm unable to engage in logical reasoning.
Then they came for the goal-line drop-outs, and I didn't speak out because I'm unable to engage in logical reasoning.
Then I was left watching rugby union because I was unable to engage in logical reasoning and they killed rugby league.
And just in case anyone accuses me of using the slippery slope fallacy, keep in mind that once the shoulder charge is gone the media and do-gooders will have to find another bone to chew. There were hints last year that the kick-off will be the next to go.

Once the shoulder charge is gone, that [uwill[/u be the next controversy. The NRL will be pressured into another study, they'll find again that injuries are higher in said circumstance, they'll find again that the NFL are worried about it and they'll say they have no choice but to ban it because of threat of lawsuit. My prediction is that in the same swoop, goal-line drop-outs will be taken.
I think it's just a matter of time, sorry to say. Who knows where from there. I think they might draw a line in the sand after that, I can't personally see them reverting to a 5-metre line, but who knows, a Demolition Man style society seems to be a few decades away  |

Scrum halves and general play kickers will absoulutely love this, anyone who attempts to charge a kick down, just run straight at them, hit the deck and claim a penalty for a "shoulder charge"

| Quote Bull Mania="Bull Mania"Cannot tell you how much i'm against this. What is this going to achieve? Just because a few people in the media have been moaning about it, the RFL suddenly cave in.
Contact with the head is already illegal, so just making a tackling technique illegal isn't going to change that. All it will do is infuriate fans when it comes to interpretation. Whats the difference between the shoulder charge and someone hitting with their shoulder? How are the referees suppose to define a shoulder charge.
It's changed nothing in protecting the players as they haven't been any "challenges" that people have gotten away with with the shoulder charge been legal. Ridiculous ruling!'"
Couldn't agree more. All this fannying around with the rules is peeing me off, especially when their are more fundamental issues with the game at a more strategic level that should be being addressed. |
