So it appears all these tackle tactics are now to be considered as foul play. Players committing this type of foul play are to be sin binned.

Has anyone told them that players can't be sin binned for foul play?
They are making it up as they bloody well go along!
Beggars belief it really does!

So how many rules are they changing now then? We must deduce from this, that from now on players can be sin binned for foul play. Is it all aspects of foul play or the ones just listed from their recent meeting?

In the Hull game two players should have been sin binned for fighting, they weren't and it caused a riot leading to a player being sent off. That was a complete and utter shambles.
So where do we go with this? Every team down to 11 or 12 by 15 mins into the game?

As I replied in my text to Jukesays last night. Will they be as keen on the head high tackle or will that be just a penalty?

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Not every team

They can for late hits on a kicker, sounds like they're just expanding the list.

I presume all clubs / coaches have been given detailed interpretation of this?

No, just the referees.
They were discussing the implementation of these directives put forward by the RFL after "Discussions" that some Chairs of the Super League clubs had with the RFL.

What was the discussion? Wigan are good and we don't like it?

That's the nub of the issue. What we've probably had is some, not all, of the Chairs on the whinge and Red Hall enters appeasement (aka bending over backwards while handing them the Vaseline) mode.

I agree with the Owd Rogue, I can imagine Mr & Mrs G. Hetherington were at the forefront.

Ah well, just so long as the rules are applied CONSISTENTLY across ALL teams.

Now now Andy, Just because I didn't think it right and that I didnt think it was my place to tell everyone on a public forum that Amos Roberts wife had gone into labour and so wouldn't be playing at MM/Cardiff.
Obviously if people tell you things in confidence you have to be carefull what you can and can't say publically?

I let a number of people I know (Some who post on here some who don't) what I had been sent and told them it would be announced today.

With regards to some of the stuff I was told I can let you know that all the following will be "Automatic Sin-Bins".

Grapple
Chicken Wing
Ninja(? I dont know what that is either)
Crusher
& 1 more type of tackle that I can't remember the name of (Sorry).

Obviously I would only be Hypothicising if I said that that's they way it came across in the meeting?

Just admit it Jukesy. Tha; knows naut!!!

I share your frustration but it is worth pointing out that although I agree and it was also my understanding you couldn't be sin-binned for Foul play the just 1 thing, Why do players get sin binned for fighting? Isn't that Foul play?

I'm with you on the "They're just making it up as they go along" theory. From what I've been told that's exactly what they do!

I know 1 thing for sure!

I'll be kicking your backside Friday Morning and if you don't shape yourself up that Gantry your Sacked!

That's exactly what they did with the 'spirit of the cap' thing. From what I heard, they didn't have the first clue even when they walked into the hearing that Wigan had actually done nothing wrong.
