Sick of the shoulder charge sooking.

The rule is not going anywhere, ever. The rule was not brought in because people like it. It was brought it because it is an absolute necessity of the times.

The same players whineging about it now would be the first ones lining up 20 years from now to cash in for their millions at the first sign of brain problems.

Rugby League is so much bigger than one low% stupid type of tackle.

Those mouth guards the Dream Team wear were a bad idea, it makes it look like they have terrible teeth and some missing ones. I know they're Aboriginal colours, but seriously they should just wear different coloured boots.

I hate the empty feeling after the All-Stars finishes. Want real rugby league. Now.

So your saying someone like Dallas Johnson (who is regularly concussed, and not by shoulder charges) will one day sue the NRL. How will the ARLC prevent that.

Also the amount of players concussed by shoulder charges is a low percentage of total concussions.

Yep. Can't wait for the WCC.

Although I saw a bit of the Wigan v Warrington game today.

Didgi might know, have the ESL stopped using steeden balls.

And why did one of the Wigan players not have a number on his jersey.

The halfback (forget his name, Matty someone?) copped a nasty cut and bled his way through the two number 7 shirts. Had to wear a blank for the rest of the game. Pretty sure they are still using Steedens, the pre-game montage featured it prominently. Might have been footage from last season though.

Terrific game btw, I follow Warrington, and the derby vs Wigan is always a great game.
