Opinion NRL Rules changes

What should be introduced.

1. Five Minute sin bin and power to on field referees.

I think that any players that has been placed on report should get a minimum 5 mins in the bin.
Too many times a player does something untoward to the opposing team and no advantage has been given to that team .
I think just like in Rugby Union the 3 on field referees should converse on the field and make a decision on the matter at hand an weather the offending player gets 5 mins , 10 mins or even to be sent off.

2. 6 man bench.

The NRL announced on Tuesday it will introduce an 18th-man rule from Round 5 in direct response to a recent spate of injuries and concussions. The Australian Rugby League Commission agreed in principle to the new law, which will allow clubs to activate an 18th man only when three players from a team have failed head injury assessments.

I know that some teams will try and milk this rule for what it is worth. So why not just have a 6 man bench to avoid any controversy over the matter.
Wayne Bennent has prove with Souths this year that most of the game he only operates with only 3 players and use 4th player if needed.

3. No Six again in your 40

Teams are giving away too many six again in the opposites 40. They are not afraid to give the opposition extra tackles allowing there team more time to get back. If a penalty is given then the opposition can take full advantage with there touch finer kick down field giving them up to 40 extra meters instead of extra tackle.

40/20s should go back to being a scrum.
Scrums are the best attacking opportunity now with the new rules.

Maybe instead of not giving 6 agains in the 40 the should give penalty and sin bin.
Especially since all 1st tackle 6 agains are deliberate

First tackle 6 agains should become 7 agains...8 agains if the infringement occurs in the fouled team's red zone.

My adjustments

- No 50m scrums - only 10m or 20m
- 40-20s & tackling players into touch result in scrums
- 6 agains within your 30m should be penalties

If policed properly by the refs, 6 again should be sufficient, there are plenty of tackles to mess up before getting a repeat set off a grubber, or tackling the opposition ingoal, adding a 7 tackle count becomes too confusing
