| On a health basis, it cannot be argued against. The world will not tolerate any sport that damages personal health and if we can't find a way to manage that then there won't be a game of rugby league. At least we only have the collision problem to resolve. RU has gone down the route of having deformed forwards trying to beast each other in a scrum and that will also have to disappear taking with it 75% of their game.
On a financial basis, it cannot be argued against. Rugby League currently has a choice of 1 insurer willing to underwrite our game (presumably at a massive premium). If we can make our game more insurable, we also make it more affordable and that will allow the game at every level to continue.
This has to be resolved and if some people miss their thuggery, there will be many more who may be attracted to the game for its skill and speed.

| Like has been said, it’s how they police it that will decide it. There’s nothing particularly exciting about a tackle round the shoulders anyway. Give me a shoulder into the ribs any day of the week.
Simple rule: no penalty if attacker contributed to it, or if accidental.
But I’m with jonh. Greedy ex players jumping on the compo bandwagon have caused this. I came across one in my professional capacity and booze was a factor. But it gives the game a year to get it right. I’d like to think that there are enough smart thinkers to know that to grow a spectator sport, you need spectators. Interestingly, the NRL has got more popular as it’s got safer.

| I must be missing something isn't it a penalty now if player hits the shoulder and goes up to the head. I honestly don't see an issue with the armpit rule.
What I will say is that when you compare the Union rules on it I couldn't get my head around it especially some of those red cards however over the games in Union it didn't appear a massive problem. That said some of those decisions for red from a yellow did appear to be more accidental than reckless when a player was was lower to the ground. Interesting times. Get rid of the 6 again and move the defence up should lower the initial contact speed and promote more flare in attack
