You just need to get rid of the niggle. Change the rules so that if someone does a chicken wing, some sort of choke hold, shirt pulling etc. you can put one on their chin. The instigator is outside the rules and has effectively started the fight so both blokes then go to the bin. Probably wont see too many halfbacks rubbing a props face in the dirt if the big fella has a right of reply.
I'd rather see immediate retribution delt out for some chickenshit wrestling move, we tried penalizing it out of the game until every merkin whinged about it.Literally change the rules to make it legal to deck someone.
Who are you people? What happened to you as children? Weren't you hugged enough? Were you hugged too much? What the f**k is wrong with you?
If you want to watch someone punch someone in the face go and watch a boxing match.

It that’s where it would be different - in the 70’s and 80’s you could get away with pure thuggery - today’s game with all the cameras wouldn’t allow that, so unprovoked, cheap, dirty violence would be clamped down on - however, a straightener for Pre-meditated foul play or shithouse tactics should be fair game and would keep the players honest.Because the game was SO clean back in the 70s/80s ffs.
Bring back players having fulltime jobs.
F**k the biff. F**k nostalgic boomers. F**k PVL.
