This and the six again given away on purpose on the first tackle so the defensive line can get set. They've got to stop, the coaches use them to their advantage, the NRL has to know they do. Six again on the first tackle should be a proper penalty, that stops it completely. The other, no stopping play until a break in play or the injured player is in the road. Pretty simple to fix.

i'm afraid that after many, many years of following the game from the time my older brother played Minor Junior in Cairns (60+ years), the game lost me over the past 2-3 years with rule changes, etc. The "Six Again" rule set me on my way when I watched a game where one team got up to 10 "Six Again" rulings and the other team got maybe one or two. So, it seems one team breaks the "ruck rule" but the other team doesn't. If they were penalties, there would many who would be up in arms about the lop-sided numbers.

Well we allowed the Bulldogs to "borrow" players from their opponents because they had 2 players suspended. What is this under 8s? If you can't field a strong enough team due to two of your players getting themselves suspended then it's too bad, your "team" suffers the consequences. This is a professional sport and it's a farce. What's next, players turning their jerseys inside out and running out for the other team after half time because they're short????

Sterlo says 'when you forget the person in stand, they will forget about you'. There is enough evidence that you need to assess every case where a player goes down on its merits .. you can't say as the people running the game well theres a chance he's faking .. let him stay down.
