Lets make it clear...
I don't have an issue with long hair in general (ala Hindmarsh) but when it prevents an effective tackle from being made by drooping down the shoulders, that's when something should be done cause it will lead to penalties.
Lots of tackles are made from pulling a player down from behind especially a fast back like Idris, so when tackling the shoulders are taken out of contention that effectively gives him a massive advantage.
This again.
Look Danish, that's all well and good, but if the referee yells "Release him" and the player does not, then they'll be penalised. Whether you think he should have had another second or two or not, the referee told him to let go and he didn't.

Damn beat me to it............
Seriously pig tails.......
Man the f**k up.
Yes, this is a massive issue, it's happened once in the last couple of seasons from memory and will eventually cost someone a grand final.
Plus if he changes direction suddenly that hair could fly around and get in someones eye and give him a massive adavantage by temporarily blinding an opponent. it's a menace that needs to be stamped out.
Where is Gallop in all of this? MIA as usual.
It all starts somewhere. Remember the chicken wings and grapple tackles?
so it's the pig tails you have an issue with,
Iam sorry i must have miss read your post
i thought you where having a shot at guys
with long hair,my mistake.
Iam certain i have seen clays as well as fui fui's hair up in a
pony tail and if i remember correctly pig tails,
not in the cage though but definately outside of it
P.S. as ALWAYS GREEN posted,im sure it is just
a marketing ploy (pigtails) .

Referees not knowing the rules does not make it ok, especially when the rule in question was specifically highlighted prior to the season starting (they seem only too happy to enforce the others in that group, like being offside at kick offs, drop outs, scrum penalties etc etc)
The difference is that every NRL player has a head,
Thread raises a good point. All players should have to shave their hair before every game.
