[QUOTE="MotherRucker1, post: 719173, member: 72442"] The game is professional now. Or meant to be. I think a large part of it is finally cracking down on some of the ****le that we've seen for years in order to encourage more people to play it, more parent's to get their kids into it, etc. Make it marketable. Older people, or adults like you or me might like a bit of it. And we should still be able to have hard hitting tackles that include arms, etc. Brutal defense is fine, as long as a tackle isn't made 5 seconds after the ball has been passed. But the old days of giving someone a bop on the nose or something at the bottom of a ruck to get even are over. For better or worse. [/QUOTE]
