The biggest problem with the game is the ref in the stands calling ruck infringement with absolutely no scrutiny. It is called 2 or 3 passes later and if you rewind there is no infringement. I cant believe this issue gets absolutely no media attention. The game is open to manipulation and it lacks integrity.

The game needs to be adjusted in the light of evidence about continual head injuries. Perhaps institute a "safe catch" option restarts the game from the 20m line if the ball is caught behind the goal line. If it goes dead start from the 10m line. If dropped, play on..

Why not apply the standard general play rule whereby if the receiving team catches the ball on the full in their own in goal area then they get a 20m tap. The team kicking off will ensure this doesn’t happen by kicking shorter. Therefore shorter run up for both the ball carrier and the defence and in turn a lessened collision. Where is there a problem with that? This wind up from 50m (or more) apart is very new in the game. It didn’t happen when Gould played. A kick off landing in the in goal in those days would be allowed to bounce and roll dead leading to a 22m restart. As it is currently is actually somewhat repetitive and very predictable. You would not be adding a rule but eliminating an exception to an existing rule.

Totally agree with Gus. That's why we love rugby league. It's a tough physical sport and it requires physically tough players to play this sport. We cannot just change the fabric of the game to accommodate players who are not physically fit to play the game. This sport is not for everyone. Just like we have boxing, wrestling and UFC, every player knows what they are signing up for and their safety on the field is their own responsibility. Let's stop this non-sense already.
