| Quote Father Ted="Father Ted"The NRL & RFL will both introduce it at the same time, probably for the start of next season. They have been working for some time, I believe, for the game to have one set of rules and this maybe the rule change that beings it about.
I would prefer to keep the shoulder charge tackle but if they are going to introduce one set of rules for the game worldwide and this is in with it, then it is a price worth paying.
We do need just one set of rules instead of the NRL variant, the SL version and then International Rules. To introduce one format for the 2013 season would be ideal so we can go into the World Cup having played a full season with everyone knowing the rules and all those rules the same.'"
so we can expect the video ref at all our games too then yes ????

| I would have kept it but any contact to th head automatic sin bin and that would go for tackles where contact with the head is made.

| Rulings like this should be decided by a player's committee and no-one else.

| Jesus Crist! Don't get me started on this one. The game is quickly decending into farce. Total joke.

| I wonder whats going to happen to all those charge downs with the shoulder. That seems to be the norm nowadays when challenging the kicker on the last.

| I honestly can't see the issue. It's not the shoulder [iper se[/i it's where it goes. Surely?

I agree, but I think there have been a couple, & only a couple I can recollect, that were borderline & ended up as a sending off. So maybe to avoid that complication they are taking away the issue. In reality the high impact shoulder charges are pretty rare. By far the most common is the big front on chest impact. The suggestion that the charge down of the kicker is regularly a shoulder charge I just don't recognise.

But in that case they need to ban tackling too as some of those can end up 'borderline'. Actually so are many 'forward passes' so let's uncomplicate that rule too and do away with passing. As for scoring; look what happened to Amos Roberts when he went in for a try. I reckon those need banning too...unless we just ban the posts to end any chance of collisions with them. As for the pitch!  Players could turn an ankle on some of those divots! I think the best solution all round would be for all of us to play each game in our head and decide the result by discussion and debate. No worries about players gettin injured then. I'll send a memo to the RFL...

I agree we mustn’t get this one out of proportion, I don’t think this is a deal breaker as far as our game is concerned. You don’t see it in every match, and its loss is not a sign of a great decline to sanitized RL IMO. There are much greater problems in the game that are not being addressed, things that may bring the game to its knees, but not this. Not worth getting all hot and bothered about this one.
