Only the fans can make a stance by switching off their TVs, and don't attend the games until normal rl resumes. It's gone absolutely bonkers atm.

I said yesterday that we all thought that having every game on TV was potentially great. What we know now, is that it will be used to penalise more players than ever.

Its a double edged sword. The RFL are trying to protect the players with this zero contact to the head initiative, however, the number of players being binned or sent off means the players remaining on the pitch are having to work harder, become fatigued quicker which leads to lazy defensive efforts, potentially more high tackles, as well as putting them at higher risk of other injuries

Only going to get worse with the new rules next year, think its going to ruin this great game.

Wonder how many weeks last season it took to get 4 red cards and over 10 yellow cards.

There was only eight red cards in Super League last season, although there was fifteen in 2022.

I really hope it settles down after a few rounds or it's going to get ridiculous.

This is why I wasn’t overly concerned with discipline on Thursday, I couldn’t make the game so watched on TV & didn’t think we were much different to KR. We just seemed to get pinged more.

There have been flop given in games this year, where all a player has done is out his hands on his own players/defenders back. I mean, how pedantic. If they've fallen on to the tackle to delay it then fair enough, but Singleton and Sao both done this Round for absolutely nothing

Players will just start taking the ball up with a lower body posture , Almost guaranteed penalty + card .

After finally calming down and watching the game again I saw the one against Sao when all he basically did was place a finger on another fc players back.

Liam Moore classed that as a flop and gave Rovers a relieving penalty helping them out again. Pathetic!
