​@@georgee5780 The 6 again rule is entertaining for all the wrong reasons. It takes the skill out of the game to earn repeated sets and gives it to the ref to use at his discretion, allowing poor attacking sides the opportunity to put on a load of points. Nevermind if you are facing a good attacking side and are having 6 agains piled on you don't stand a chance. Be careful setting your defensive line or getting up fast to put pressure on the attack because if you do you are liable to give away a 6 again. Sure it's entertaining if you're a house wife who only has the most superficial understanding of the game.

If player welfare was truly the concern they’d shorten the season, have mandatory breaks between games (no 4 day turn around) and take steps to stop players playing with injuries via players needing medical clearances to play. But it isn’t, it’s about future litigation.

The NRL will be OZ tag within 5 years if they continue in this direction.

Great discussion between 2 gentlemen that love the game and caring for the -players who do the entertaining.

The idea of proportionality and reasonable risk are concepts that have been lost to society in general in the last few years, largely because of the media > institutional reaction cycle. Essentially, the media looks for easy, emotional narratives to sell their content. In the case of rugby league, it's "Safety" - In the case of freedom of expression, it's "mental health". These have always been considered in proportionality with reality, but now the media cycle is so quick, the insitutions, whether it be the government, or NRL, are desperate to quickly react to the negative coverage, and as a result, have lost the idea of proportionality and reasonable risk, by implementing policies that actually destroy the original idea. In NRL, it's the reality of a fast paced contact sport having incidental injuries, especially when you've introduced one hundred rules in the last year to speed it up and cause fatigue. The real culprit ultimately is this media > institution cycle or media fishing with emotional bait and essentially blackmailing the institution being targeted to do something. Institutions need to understand that the media is trolling them, and will strike just as hard, if not harder, the more you concede. In fact, they will go after "Safety" even more now.....AND the same papers / journos will publish a story about how soft the game has gotten the next day, just to spice things up. These institutions and their leadership need to grow a backbone, and just consolodate, be patient - and stop being such a reactive bunch of nobs.

There needs to be a fundamental change to make this game as special as it once was, which will take a very long time but it won't happen if we continue to play the same broken record year in year out.

Also the morale of the team is lowered and players will feel they have been treated unfairly and defeated which in that case they were treated unfairly. The game is over.

As Robbo the Roosters coach said - the new interpretations of what constitutes a foul and non foul play in regards to citing, sin bins and send off need to be calibrated. I think the vast majority of the magic round were ok. Both Gould and V’landy said player rosters are the reason for the blow outs which 100% correct.

Just a thought. High tackle, no injury, penalty, on report, play on. High tackle, player down, HIA, offending player off for same time as injured player, penalty, on report. High tackle, player badly injured[stretcher off] offending player off as well, no replacement, penalty, on report. All these incidents are on report to be looked at by the judiciary to allow them to assess players falling into tackles, malice, intent etc. Some of the send off's on the weekend were correct but putting someone in the bin 'automatically' for what appears high is dopey. Just look at the Tedesco example, nothing wrong with that at all and a player 'falling' into the tackle. What the hell was the tackler supposed to do, just disappear.

There may come a time when headgear will be mandatory, and a waiver having to be signed removing the NRL and Clubs from being sued. To say that winning is not everything is indicative of just how far removed the NRL have become. Not one single player plays for funssies. Winning the championship is why they play, put their bodies on the line, otherwise what's the point. The problem has and always was officiating. Headhigh and dangerous tackles have been and always will be in a contact sport played at a speed where things just happen. Sometimes intentional and sometimes unintentionally. It's always come down to the officiating. A terrible call at the right time is the difference in Winning and Losing. Winning is everything when your livelihood is on the line.

How does Riki, Wighton and even Hodgson sin bins stop concussions? Absolutely ridiculous bins. The hit on paps was a bin/send off every other week anyway so weak defence there by NRL. Also, this year game is so different that it'll take years to recruit to right type of players for this oz tag comp they're trying to run so complete BS that 'even playing field' nonsense. The quick pretty boy teams will win 3 comps while the teams of enforcers will be overhauling their rosters. Rip NRL.

Bring back Greenberg.He’s looking like a genius as every day passes.

I can't lie after watching this Peter V'landys seems like a decent bloke, knows what he's doing. But the exchange at the end with Gus, just made him seem like a schoolboy that's just been called to the principal. "We done?" "We're done."

I like Gus yet this interview sucked for him. Peter has been a saint from day one. He's better than the commissioners of the NFL, NBA and MLB combined. I really hope NRL buys Super League with him in charge. Dude is amazing. You have no idea how lucky we are to have him.

Nobody wants players to suffer from mental health or illness. Also boxing/MMA are sports, not for kids but adults will participate in. Very hard to find balance , they to analyse AFL & union statistics of causes of concussions & if rule changes have made large difference in total number of concussions

Papenhouzen was standing at what, 5 foot 6 when he threw that pass? His torso is at 45 degrees. His body is basically a C shape If you’re running up to tackle him, front on, how low do you have to go to get him? What if he decides to step instead of pass, changes direction and stands full height and the tackler gets a knee to the face? The ballrunner almost never gets sent off for an accidental knee (unless they REALLY charge knees up - like origin 10 years ago) Personally I would do 5 minute sin bins with a penalty. Basically two chances to score if the opponent slows the game sufficiently. 10 mins (or a whole game) is too long for an accidental hit in a contact sport

This marks the death of the game. This is such a sad time.

The NFL generates BILLIONS of dollars per year, they literally recouped the losses from the civil lawsuits of ALL eligible retired NFL players within a single month! But you know how the NFL manages to generate such cash flow? Whilst paying out nearly a billion in litigation, and implementing rules to prevent concussion, achieving a 29% drop in concussions, a benchmark that Peter V'landys is gunning for? They did it by not compromising the flow of the game, and implementing rules that use common sense. The NFL implemented rules in 2018 to prevent concussions, the rules were: - It is a foul for a player to drop their head prior to contact (doesn't that sound like Teddy every run he makes?) as majority of the concussions are not from head knocks, but players dropping levels into the hit, and low hits. - Changes to the kick-off (one of which was that players didn't need to kneel anymore, avoiding collisions that occur low) The NFL prioritises fan experience, whilst player welfare is huge, they go about it with common sense, taking into consideration what it would look like from the stands, and by doing this, they generate BILLIONS of dollars per annum, and dominate the US sporting market. These changes were also phased in the off-season to allow coaching staff, players, and the administration, to prepare, then when time came for the season to begin, all parties were ready, to prevent denying the integrity of the sport. Sack V'landys, get me in there, I feel like a toad could take the NRL to greater heights than the spastic who couldn't even pronounce Papenhuyzen's surname for 2 weeks straight.

Can someone explains what he means by less predictable? Statistically it's the second highest level of tipping accuracy of all time this year. The first? Last year, where the 6 again rule was first added.

dude vlandy, person choose to play this sport should hold their own fate when they retire. Ball carrier falls over to tackler swinging arm and yet sin bin the dude who just only wants to tackle the body

Are third parties deals under the cap or linked to the player involved? How are they accounted for? everyone loves hearing this, "he went there for unders...." but what third party are they clubs giving.. I would suggest that the bottom 8 currently don't have the same playing field as the rest, simply because of those agreements unless someone can tell/show me otherwise

Sticky said it best when he said had he known about the rule changes prior to a season rather than all of a sudden in the middle of a season, Sticky said he'd be recruiting completely differently had he known about the rule changes. However it is Ricky and he loves to dish out blame.

@@bremCZ you said the concept is stupid, but the CEO of Tyre company does need to educated themselves about tyre and also how tyres function... They don't have to built one. you said "change the tyre". This guy want to speed up the game without understanding that fatigue result into poor tackling. anyone that played contact sport understand this concept. so the idea of his saying he is all about players safety, yet want the to speed is dumb and shows the lack of understanding of how contact sport work. High Speed=high collision=more injuries

It's called "RSL sunburn"

Agree...

You can literally tackle from the shoulders down. Why blame the NRL for tackling technique when coaches and player development staff actually prepare their teams for games. Same goes for the speed of the game. It's all down to player preparation which reflects on team development and coaches. The Roosters are half a team down and they're still winning games

Well, no need to side step anymore. Just start ducking at the defence line, no one will tackle incase they make contact with the head. Everyone will just start ducking down at the defence line...

If anyone watched wwe can see that trying to turn the game PG can kill the game like how wwe died

It wasn't a swinging arm Ryan got hit with tho a acting like it was that bad lol who remembers hoppas hit on big Keefy lol

Gould has never put his hand up to run the game but is plenty ready to make suggestions and criticise others for disagreeing with his views.

All contact sports come with injuries, changing rules wont change anything it will only mess up the sport..if NRL is concern for player safety increase the reserves to 10 players or decrease 40 minutes to 30 halves..but leave the rules as it is..

It's about controlling the business, not concussion as much, that's the bi-product.

Abit of bias coming from Gould but I understand both sides of the argument and I think Vlandys is ultimately doing the right thing the players will adapt to it
