Thoughts on the new drop out rule.
Where you don't get penalised if it goes out on the full or doesn't go 10m.

It's just a play the ball on the 10m to the receiver team.

90-95% of drop outs will be a short one now. With less risk as you don't gift the opposition 2 points.

It's f**king stupid, that's what I think.

There's nothing wrong with the old rule. Rugby league is always open to changing rules to make the game more attractive and that's great.... But change rules where there is a definite and obvious need, not otherwise...
A change was needed. Every single kick off is exactly the same. I would have gone further

Give examples of where you think there is an definite and obvious need for a rule change.

To be honest I don’t give a shit about either rule.

7 tackle set if you miss a FG attempt.

Less of a rule change and more interpretation. But when players are going for a tackle and the ball is passed into them it's deemed a knock on, just change it back to the referee's discretion. On top of this you can purposefully charge down a kick, which is a knock on, and it deemed to he play on.
