Quote: mikey800 "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.'"
The problem is not the outlawing of head tackles.
Head tackles have long been illegal, and rightly so.
It's the outlawing of accidental contact with the head, as in last night.
You can't outlaw something you have no control over. If accidental contact with the head is a sending-off offence, you will have no rugby league.
It's that simple.
