You can tackle a diving winger.

not exactly mike..... its a funny one coz ive seen players penalized for tackling them when there in mid flight...... the best way too smash them into touch is a shoulder charge( which is also banned)

Trying to sell it to neutrals and trying to expand like Ru have done can't be that difficult but do we deserve it? Get this cocaine problem out of the league first and then we may have a starting point. I see 3 more (respected) players have been sacked for it recently and we all know it goes on. I have SEEN players doing it who haven't been caught although i won't name names. It's time we got this crap out of the game for good. Lifetime bans

I cant recall a player getting penalised while trying to tackle a player who is going for the corner in a spectacular way, since the rule change or before it as long as its a legal tackle nothing wrong with it. If your looking at shoulder charges, sliding in feet first or a player whos tackled coming down off a kick then yes.
I think its been one of the better rule changes. I dont like the tap the ball from a 40/20. I would love to see some amendment as to breaking from scrums to allow for atacking play while second rows props hooker are tied up for one play. I think the sub rules need looking at maybe 4 straight subs. If we are having a screen it should be at all games or not at all. I would also bring in a one minute rule on vt, if you cant decide in a minute that the refs call is right or wrong it just goes to refs call. If you have a report system and vt and you have an incident like the Ferres on Gildart (should have been red so maybe not best example) at the very least if its fit to go on report after a quick look the player on report should not be allowed to play in remainder of game but he can be replaced. At least then the team the offense involved get some slight advantage.
The biff would result in yellows unless it was crazy.... you take somthing away from RL by making it a red and a ban for striking.

I like the 40/20 rule. It rewards skill and makes the defence think.

Personally I would make touchgoal flags OUT. Anything to help remove the ever present (and dull as ditchwater) cross field kicks. Whereas once they were "one offs" now they are the expected tackle 5 play. Boring.

Touch the flag you're out, don't touch the flag you're still in....

The kicks after five drives are so boring, it’s like aces in tennis!

What's so special about the flag that it gets it's own rule?

That would be considerd crazy if the RFL introduced it now- and impossible to explain to a newcomer.

Yes thats the old rule. It wasn't consistent with the rules on the rest of the pitch.

What will happen in strong winds, if the flag is disturbed and the perpendicular is in the field of play?

Corner flags can be bent within the field of play as well as without it.

What happened for the numerous decades it was in play, it's not like it's some new fangled idea, it was only got rid off so we could copy those precious Aussies
