Do we get to find out what this is? I'm sure there are a million loopholes which clubs are planning to use. Does Warea-Hargreaves come with a clean slate?

Edit-Bans from 2024 get points attached to them and the points for each incident stay on a players record for 12 months, so a good few players, including Byrne, are in danger of big bans for any sort of charge in the early months of the season.

Is there a list anywhere with the current points that players carry over? Good call on Byrne. It would put a question mark over signing anybody who had something like this hanging over their heads for the first month of the season. I wonder if NRL players come with a clean slate?

I've read it wrong initially and the points actually drop off after 12 months on a case by case basis, so McIlorum had a Grade E in Feb 2024, that will drop off in Feb 2025 but it's not all the points. Liam Byrne had that charge on Good Friday and the rest of his incidents were after that, so he's actually in danger of a decent ban right through until the end of March, when the points for that Good Friday ban will drop off. Not sure on overseas players but it's laughable if somebody like JWH comes in with a clean slate, when he's probably the most banned player in world rugby league.

That cannot be right, it suggests a two-tiered approach which I am sure will be challenged.
