A bit of a knee jerk by the RFL & personally I don't agree with their decision. At the very least this is something that should have been brought in at the end of the season rather than after a few games.
agree that it should have been implemented at either the beginning or end of the season, like some of the more stupid rules that the RFL decided to implement
I can't wait to see what some amateur games are going to look like - as well as implementing the half a dozen new rules brought in for this season, a 15 year old ref is also expected to rule on what is, or isn't, a shoulder-charge.
I hope the YJL has plenty of willing victims to sit on their disciplinary panels!
Just watched a compilation of shoulder charges on a popular video sharing website and it has to be said that nearly all were cheap shots on a player who hadn't seen what was coming at him. Can't say I'll miss them massively.
