    If the NRL are fair dinkum then they also need to stop advertising the big hits from the kick off to promote the game. They banned the punch but they love to shove it in our faces with their promotions around origin time. They dont care about the players, only their own corporate bottom dollar.

      This is it. Harder to be accurate with a drop kick and even if it goes long, it generally will be 'held' up a bit more than a kick off a tee so there would be less time between the catch and the tackle

    Bring back the shoulder it protects players more than it hurts them and you can do it with the ball anyway. Just get all players to sign a waiver that they know and accept the risks. Make them watch a video on it then they can sign if they choose to play.

    The NRL has become a Corporatocracy which now must apease pollicital, financial and legal interests just like any other corporation in order to maintain funding so that it can operate. It is no longer a sport, it is a business and it is in the best interests of any business to reduce risks of injury and subsequent litigation.
    Footy as we know it is dead. What we have left is nothing more than the eroded corpse of what truly once was the greates game of all.
    I stopped watching last year when they were putting players in the bin for things that were completely innocuous. I attempted to watch my once beloved Titans play the Storm but was quickly reminded why I stopped watching in the first place as the penalties and the sin bins for nothing have only gotten worse.
