The reason for it isn't what you are thinking. Its to reduce the gap between the teams so that a huge forward cannot build up as much momentum has they do now when they reach the first opponent.

It was shown on Friday night that this rule change wont stop that happening at all. Paasi took the ball in and Singleton was only 10m back from him yet he still ended up sat on his backside looking like a startled deer.

The game has become a bit stale. The turn-of-the-century Bulls used to get called the Dulls but, looking at archive repeats on Sky, they were pretty adventurous by 2023 standards.

New rules designed  to encourage offloads and under-the-armpit tackling can only be a good thing
