There was contact with kickers or high tackles on the weekend that didn't match the NRL interpretations.

And that’s one of my biggest gripes with the NRL, the choice to enforce or not enforce by the refs depending on their ‘feel’ for the game. Granted if everything was pinged you’d likely find something most sets but the moment you let refs decide or interpret rules is the moment you open the door for corruption

If they do go with the new kick off rule I hope we are looking at the best way to exploit it. You can guarantee Ivan Cleary and Bellamy would already be planning this.

In the NRL’s eyes, more contesting and random outcomes equals a more entertaining product.
I will be a huge contest. Win it and you have a chance to score starting a set from midfield, lose and the opponent does.
It will increase the number of moments in a game where a contest can increase or decrease your teams fortune and give an adrenaline surge for fans.
Addictive… smart those people running the NRL!

Lol. They might as well just make the 'Kick-off' a hand-over at the 20 metre mark and be done with the kick-off all together. Are they thinking every kick off will become a contestable drop-kick type play.
(edit: on the plus side, least we won't be kicking it dead off the kick-off a bunch of times

But in a real sport where territory means an opportunity to score, winning that mid field contest is a big moment in the game.

Another gripe.. they couldn't try keep it consistent??
As in they scrapped penalties on dropouts that don't go 10m, and replace it with a PTB on the 10
In that case, if you are going to change the rules on restarts as well, wouldn't the logical, consistent thing be to give the receiving team a PTB on the 40m instead of a penalty?? Not some 7 tackle set if it doesn't cross the magic line B.S.
Not that I like either option, but why is it two different rules, when they're effectively the same thing.

If you want seagulls fighting over a chip or a bunch of excited puppies chasing a ball there’s always AFL

Trent Robinson was against the new kick off rule. Just said there should be a send off if someone tackles high.

Found this interesting especially when you consider the likely make up of the Warriors.
"The six-again rule has been really, really good for us, but it's also cost front-rowers. Front-rowers are worth a lot, but bench front-rowers are obsolete," he said.
"We're all playing with locks and we're all playing with guys that are going to run a long distance."
Roosters' Robinson calls for harsher NRL penalties on kick-off fouls
Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson believes sending off players for high shots following kick-offs would improve player safety, rather than big rule changes.

It is interesting to see now that the 6 again rule has been in place for a few years. O'Sullivan when he was with us talked about size as the two teams in that years Grand Final had size. Yes it still helps but there is a bit more of a sample size now in terms of figuring out what works best.
You also see occasional quotes how important size has always been. That hasn't always been the case as the game goes in cycles where some positions look like they have changed.
The 90s after the 10 metre rule a lot of teams moved second rowers into the front row so they had mobility.
The number of interchanges affects the type of training they do in the off season. Unlimited interchange was a lot of sprinting and running up to 400 metres. Limited interchanges and the they start running longer distances to prepare for longer minutes on the field.
For the last 10 years or so we had the 13 as a third prop. Not its back to someone who is quick across the ground or can ball play.
If the ball is in play a lot longer the smaller mobile forwards are favoured.
Or conspiracy time. Is so he can justify axing May? He was too big.

May had 11 games this year where he played 50 minutes or more so he has a motor. More likely they are after Hunt and needed cap space. Small mobile forwards are favoured but the Sharks didn't get the memo this year and did well.
If you look at our likely starting front row next year (JFH & Barnett) they are both converted backrowers. In fact our likely starting 17 would not have a player that started their career as a prop.
