NRL bans shoulder charges
- Thread starter dukey
- Start date
Im not saying the refs are interpreting it wrong, im saying the rule is wrong. There was nothing dangerous about the hit Matulino put on Thaiday last year, it was a good stand and deliver shot but in union it would have been penalised.
Thanks Gus.

so touch footy for 2014 season then? since player protection is paramount. lets all just forget the fact that rugby league is a contact sport.
You can still do knee damage playin touch football.
Yep and ive had some pretty nasty grazes from diving for a try

This sounds like a much better way to deal with shoulder hits:

Of course, we can always go the touch footy way and make trys scoring like NFL touchdowns, so that people don't get grass burns from diving on the paddock!

why dont we just allow voluntary tackles now too? dont want to get hit? put your hand up for a 'safe tackle' or take a knee, NFL style.

how about the coin toss just decides the match instead? the captains better tie pillows to their feet too, dont want that coin landing on their foot and causing a nasty ouchie.

Unfortunately can't be done. Shoulder charges are still allowed on Rugby League Live 2.

I'm really glad that no one has gone over the top or taken examples to the extreme, it's great to see such a mature discussion happening
Well seriously, the people upset about shoulder charges being banned are having a massive sook.
Personally I wouldn't care if they're banned or not, I can understand why they did and i think we should wait until we see it in action for a while.
The way some are carrying on you'd think it's going to destroy the sport. What a joke. They're banned in junior grades anyway, the kids coming through are no less tough
