Another step towards velcro strips on shorts by about 2035 the way they're going
It’s not a penalty as such, teams can still kick long but have to suffer a 0 tackle.
I don’t mind it.
I have felt the first set of the game feels too quick and this gives the receivers a chance to make territory before giving away their first possession.
I wonder though where were all the kick offs received that had the horrible collisions come about?
And second to that where was first contact made?

I think a few teams will kick long. Especially any team with a good kick chase

Another stupid rule change. We need less 7 tackle sets not more.
Does my head in every time when a player knocks the ball over the line it's a 7 tackle set to the opposition but if it's a metre before the line it's a 6 tackle set 10m out. No logic at all.

That will take away from the Origin spectacle. So much of the hype is based on the first collision.

May as well just copy NFL and be allowed to kick it dead and have a 20 MTR restart. The game has become a total farce.

This is the one I thought of first up , yes deep kick off player catches it passes it to a prop on the charge and back , big hit , just what the game is all about , but
I think a short 10 mtr kick off medium high , player one catches the ball if jumping land on his feet then 2 or 3 will smash him anyway , it how the game plan is set up , kick off and hit hard in defence to lay the foundation for a dominant group on one side to get the better of the other side , state of origin is a perfect example , team who bets the other team for the first 10 or 15 minutes probably wins , it takes the wind out of the other side , dress them up like American footy players or play touch footy they are killing our game
They’ll probably let it go for Origin like they do everything else.

A variation I could deal with...just...is if they rewarded the team kicking off with a tackle rather than penalising them an extra one.
I.e. same rule, but if it stays within 20m, the defending team deducts a tackle from the opposition set meaning 5 tackles instead of 6. If it goes beyond 20m the attacking team just gets the normal 6 tackles. Incentive rather than penalty.
All things said, I wish they hadn't changed anything.

Thinking about this, it's just such a bad rule. You've just copped a try or multiple tries and then you need to either defend 7 tackles or give them 6 tackles 30m out...either way you are probably looking at each kick off set finishing within your half and your opposition in attacking field position.
It's going to be very difficult to stop momentum.

All of this bullshit could be solved with an ironclad waiver system.
If people can work on oil rigs, mine kilometres underground or hang from 40m trees with a chainsaw dangling from their waist and their industries not face crippling legal action, they can run the ball back an extra 15/20m.
Ridiculous.
Playing Rugby League is a choice. It is a high-risk, high-reward career.
This smacks to be me of Abdo and his soft, saffa, progressive nonsense.
Weak, lily-livered cat.

Good point it will create an even bigger gap between the top and bottom teams.

No it's not a penalty as we know it in the game... I said penalised as in the extra tackle.
I don't know how teams will deal with this but if you think the first set of the game is quick and. Receivers making ground imagine 7 tackles from the outset.
Receivers will be in an attacking position on the first set of the game regardless if its a short or long kick off
