| These new laws are knee jerk and clearly meeting an agenda. Why not simply clamp down harder on head shots and off the ball hits when the body is relaxed, a bunker system would police this instead of these embarrassing new rules. Players are very conditioned for high impact, strengthening of neck muscles is proven to help prevent concussion, what it doesn’t protect is lazy/dirty high tackles and off the ball shots. I wish common sense would prevail.

| 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
