What rule could rugby do without?

Question

seems to me dangerous tackle in NRL is holding the ball in AFL

Answer 1

I reckon that the refs should make the play of the ball faster.

Answer 2

Could do without the stupid stripping rule. It has taken away the concept of ball secruity.

Answer 3

Wow you have a lot to learn about the NRL if your going to come on here and critisize it.. NRL is a much more physically demanding game.. than AFL no questions asked.. The rules that are put in place are for the safety of the players!! Just dont even try comparing AFL to NRL because its not worth your time... and if u feel it is necassary then not in our catergory as you will just cop sh*t...

Answer 4

Stripping rule - If a player does not have control of the ball then they don;t deserve it.

Answer 5

a knock on should only be an offence when it benefits the team knocking as many times even if a player regains a ball he has lost moumentium anyway nad some of the knock ons these days are so small you need a video play back to be sure. Rules are there to make sure its a level playing field (no pun intented) they should not be to punish little mistakes and slow the game down

Answer 6

each tackle that goes bad or appears bad should be judged on it own merit

Answer 7

Seems to me that holding the ball in AFL is what we call a knock-on in the NRL.

Anyway... The rules are good and implemented for the safety of the players, so i don't think that any should be scrapped. However the rule of contact with the head needs to be adjusted. If it is minor contact and isn't detrimental to the players health or flow of the game, it should be play on.
