Just shows how badly run the game is then doesn't it?

So who would you put the blame on? RFL? NRL RL int fed?

Reality is international game historically had been closer to the RFL law book than NRL.

Changes lately have been driven by the Aus game though.

Personally i dont like the restart positioning rule, scrum/restart where offence is or on 20mtr in my mind better. Interstingly aus pundits were not happy with ptb restart after ball going in touch.

6 again rule has changed the speed and dynamic of the game.

But hey it is what it is

What is good is all levels of the game now playing by same rules

How hard is it to agree a set of rules NB? I would clearly blame those pillocks.

Pillocks? Which ones? RFL or NRL? Its a simple enough question

Who are you saying is at fault? Do we slavishly follow NRL rule changes

I can understand adjustments for COVID but in general they mess around with the rules or 'interpretations' too much.

I am not actually disagreeing with you, it is crazy that you have 2 domestic leagues playing different rules and then a different set for international games. But why is that fault of the RFL if thats whats being suggested.

Changes to the rules has been a part of the game ever since i have been watching it, some good, some bad. Without it we would still be in unlimited tackle territory and 3 points for a try, so its not all bad

Don't think anyone specified the RFL but unless its been wound up on the quiet, I thought the International Rugby League was the world governing body. So in this instance, those pillocks.

So IRLF set the international rules, err those pillocks as you call them are between a rock and a hard place. Whos rules should they follow. RFL do one thing NRL do another! Rule changes differ each year depending on hemisphere. 1 or 2 referees being a classic.

There is no world governing body that sets the laws of the game for domestic leagues, only international games.

Wow, I wonder how other sports manage when there are many more countries playing ?
