New Innovations in All Star Match

Whilst the new rules were released a while back, referees coach Bill Harrigan has announced that the referees will be wired up to the PA system for the All Stars Match. This is to prevent spectator confusion when the new rules are used (just like the NFL). The rules being trialled include: 1 Power Play Per Team, Per half. This means that the attacking team can elect a 5 min period in each half where the defending team is reduces to 11 men. 20/40 kicks are going to he trialled as well as six again for differential penalties in the ruck such as hand on the ball. The referees will also be wearing specially designed jerseys, created by Sid Domic.

  • I hope those rules stay in the All Stars match

  • i likey the six again rule

  • The All Stars Games are being used to trial new ideas. Personally I'd like to see the six again rule. It means that differential penalties won't result in a team directly losing the match. And the refs talking to spectators is great for people new to the game.
  • They wont be talking, they'll just be telling them about the rules. I thought a differential penalty was a penalty from a scrum where the team couldn't go for goal. They can't even tell if it is stripped or not, we should be getting that right before we introduce new rules

  • Have you heard about the crackatinni tribe? They're getting ready for the game!

  • ME too...

  • If we're racists...that's the English in us.....blame them! lol

  • If the nrl had any brains, they will immediately introduce the six again rule. This has sped up the game and creates fatigue thus more attack
