There are roughly 480 full-time NRL players. 3 are in the courts. That represents less than 1 percent. More than 99 percent of rugby league players are doing the right thing. #worthremembering

Can’t buy into the argument that if you played the game, you will understand things can go wrong. Fact is if it goes wrong, you get suspended. You don’t need to play the game to understand that. Go hard, go soft. It doesn’t matter. Get it wrong and you pay the price.

It is the defender's responsibility to avoid contact with the head. Surely in the age we live in, when an AFL player has just won an insurance payout of $1.4 million over repetitive head knocks, it doesn't matter whether it is an accident. Hit someone in the head, you get banned.
