[QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2512762, member: 1764"] Look, to be honest if the NRL decided that's the route they wanted to take, fine. But the way I see it is the rules are very similar to the dangerous throw situation. Most dangerous throws aren't dangerous....but they're illegal anyway. Do a minor one, you might get a penalty and report, but no charge. Then it goes up from there. Players still lift. And players still get in dangerous positions. If you're in a situation where you feel the only option is a shoulder charge (eg, winger streaking for the line and you want to bump them out) then you take the odds to it. All I've ever said is that I'm fine with the NRL banning the shoulder charge. I agree it hasn't been smooth sailing yet, but once they get the kinks out of what is and isn't a shoulder charge, how it's enforced, it'll just be another rule nobody will worry about. But even when they brought it in, I was fine with them NOT banning it. I'd have been fine if they'd just ramped up the penalties into a new category of "dangerous shoulder contact" like they did with "dangerous throws". Point is, they didn't. I'm fine with the action they've taken. I'm fine with them maintaining it and refining it. I'd rather they try and work it out now that it's there than scrap it and try something totally different which they **** up anyway. [/QUOTE]
