Message: [QUOTE="Dexter, post: 3264776, member: 1978"] They can still tackle at shoulder height . The NRL are trying to stop the "accidental" high shots which happen too often. Too many players push the boundaries and aim to hit the shoulder first and ricochet into the head. It's similar to the era when bouncing off the ball first caused some horrible head knocks but went unpenalised. Players like Mario Fenech were experts at it . The fact is they won't stop all head knocks but they are not claiming they will just trying to stop the avoidable contact because that is their duty if care. The court cases are coming, that's a fact, the NRL are positioning themselves for future litigation. [/QUOTE]
