Eradicate possibility of serious brain problems in later life or leave things as they are and take the risk and everything that goes with it Not a situation the RFU/RL find themselves in a massive paradox.josie andrews wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 8:57 pm It will be the end of either code if this goes through & the RFL follow suit!

From a RL point of view. I can't help thinking that if RL follow RFU,the game itself viz. players and coaches are partially responsible for the dangerous play inherent in our game. There is it seems to me a macho approach in our game exhibited in our game by both some players and fans alike evidenced by player foul play (deliberate or otherwise and some social media responses If Refs officiated the games strictly by our existing rules ,and I've said this before,our game would never get off the ground. It seems to me that we may be about to reap what we've sown
