While I agree the game has probably shifted too far, and I'm certainly glad I've finished officiating, we can't place the blame entirely at the door of the RFL.

If things had not changed, we wouldn't have any form of RL to watch in this country. Too many people have backed the game into a corner. I can see a point where the impact of the cards will finally see a real adjustment from players and it will improve things.

I know several people will call this a dream or stupidity, but it's the only way our game can survive and I have to try and believe it can.

Making it up as they go along

100%

Disagree. The statement acknowledges that the wording of the rule about head to head contact was incorrect. They’ve called a meeting to clarify and change it to initial head to head contact and allow discretion when it comes to accidental secondary contact.

They could have buried their heads in the sand and pretended the rule was correct. On this occasion I’d applaud how they’ve handled it.

I agree. They just need to admit they got the Wardle one wrong now and award the result to Penrith retrospectively....

It’s probably a harsh comment but surely you have it right come the start of the season? Anyway, they’ve at least acted now and It’s at least hopefully a sign that they’re prepared to listen to people’s concerns.
