I saw a trip tonight and one last week. Both were allowed. Neither was particularly dangerous just putting a stationary player to the ground. But a trip is one of the most dangerous plays in league, easily able to cause ankle injuries. Come on if its a trip automatic penalty.

Trips can be fun.
But there is no room for drugs in league.
Obviously, I H8, you do not regard piss as a drug.
depends on the trip, IH8Manly.
Ye true but its weird how they are viewed so differently in different codes. If you trip someone playing soccer its no big deal but if you ankle tap them it would be an instant yellow card if not red. In league if you ankle tap its ok but tripping is considered a big no no and will have everyone up in arms.
Trips used to be legal if they followed a grab with the hands .Ray Price and Allan Langer were frequent trippers .Years ago we had the Cumberland throw , used by Ivor Lingard and Fred Pickup at Parramatta .
Friend of mine still executes the Cumberland throw. He's bloody good at it and I've been on the receiving end of a few of them.
