Quote Rooster Booster="Rooster Booster"The rule changes for this tournament have been given to clubs. A couple are:
There will be only FIVE tackles.
Knock ons are instant turnovers. Double knock ons will have scrums.
Score a try under the posts will be five points. Drop kicks for conversions.
Made for telly stuff.
Not all clubs are taking this seriously I'm afraid. You'll see some stars of the future with clubs being allowed to take 16 players to the tournament.
Only issue I have is why would you put a tournament with different rules in between the weeks of NRL Club trial games?'"
The different rule will speed it up, i actually like the instant turn over one!
The 5 tackles will be hard, youve played the game for 15 - 20 years counting to 6 and suddenly you count to 5, i expect alot of players caught with the ball on that one!
