Message: [QUOTE="Renegade, post: 2512570, member: 1928"] Imo it's all to do with legal ramifications when someone eventually sues the NRL because they're 45 and have early onset of parkinsons/dementia/alzeimhers. By banning the shoulder charge, cracking down on anything that is considered not in the spirit of the game (legs first when someone is planting the ball), they're basically giving themselves some platform to say, no we did not encourage behaviour that result in this mans condition, we have done our best to eliminate or minimize risk of chronic or long term head injuries by introducing these measures, such as the no shoulder charge, whatever cognitive tests they do for when a concussion occurs, etc. they have to do this, because imo, if a player theoretically sued the NRL and won - the flood gates would open, and honestly, I don't know if we'd still have a professional game. They would be bankrupted several times over. [/QUOTE]
