The problem is, that by the letters of the law that red card last night was technically the correct decision so the outcome would have been the same in that instance.

If the players are all for the rules and really worried about head damage , why aren't they wearing skull caps ? Lomax seems worried enough to wear one due to previous injuries , but the other 99% are too stupid for their own good ?

This will kill the game , for now I am done watching .

A lot of people haven't worked out yet that when someone comes along with money and does things for your safety and to protect you , its usually not going to be for your own good .

I said this to the mrs the other night. Problem with head injuries? Compulsory skull caps

The line you always hear with scrum caps though is that they do nothing to protect the brain, they’ll just stop things like cuts and bruises.

Alcohol also damages the brain and most players drink it , if you look at the madness over the last 4 years , this is just more of the same .

You need to wear a mask if you stand up , but you can take it off sat down , if your on a plane then you need to wear it sat down but not standing up , but you can take it off if your eating .

A man can now be a woman just by declaring it .

Rugby league is on the slippery slope .

Fast forward 10 years and rugby might be declared too dangerous , so we just need to stay at home and play it using VR goggles.

How on earth was that Wigan try in the second half allowed! even though i have always been a Wigan fan i think refs are playing to the crowds! tonights game should have been played at neutral venue with a neutral refs

Back on the topic of head high tackles tonight proved you can have a tough, exciting & attritional game of rugby league without head high tackles if players concentrate and get heir technique right.

If the game can continue to thrive in Australia (and it is doing), I see no reason why it can't thrive here too.

No ban for Nu Brown but the rl put out a statement on how to polish a turd

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.
