[QUOTE="LittleGuy, post: 518181, member: 44360"] I'm torn about this das, I would prefer to see the shoulder charge remain in the game as I think it adds that "boom" factor to league which is a major part of it's appeal and is similar to some of the big hits we see in gridiron. Yet I've seen some guys get hit real hard and especially with the bigger and fitter athletes that are playing today I'm worried about injuries, player safety is paramount somethign gridiron and Ice Hockey are finding out big time these days with the concussion problems lingering around those sports. I've seen guys going for shoulder charges and having it backfire sometimes though, either they miss completely and leave themselves off balance which makes pursuit hard, or they go in too high and draw a penalty. Going in too hard also dosen't make your opponents particularly fond of you and we know what that can lead to in League!!!! [/QUOTE]
