A group of the NRL’s more influential figures will meet to discuss the six-again rule and change to one referee as part of an overall review of the 2020 season.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports the NRL has formed an innovations committee made up of CEO Andrew Abdo, ARLC chair Peter V’landys, head of football Graham Annesley, Storm coach Craig Bellamy, Raiders coach Ricky Stuart, referee Matt Cecchin and star players Luke Keary and Damien Cook. The committee will be chaired by commission member Wayne Pearce.
Along with reviewing the success of this year’s changes, the team will also put forward and discuss a number of new ideas which could be introduced in 2021.
According to the Herald, the committee will get together on Monday week where they will be give statistical data from the 2020 season.
Stuart has been one of the more vocal coaches about changes to the game. He threw his support behind the six-again change after it was introduced in Round 3, revealing he was “really losing faith in the game” and was “getting annoyed” watching rugby league because of “too much mess” after the initial tackle.
Pearce is hoping the committee’s feedback and fresh ideas will help ensure the game is at its best in 2021.
“I’m asking people to come along with an open mind,” Pearce said.
“We’ll review what worked this year, what didn’t work and look at how we can make the game an even better product if we need to do anything.
“Our management team will be getting a lot of information together that we will look at on the day.
“I’m asking people to come along so we can gather some ideas, bunch them up and chat with their stakeholders.
“The idea is we go into next year looking at what worked and take that forward, as well as the things that didn’t work so well and what we need to tweak.
“I deliberately haven’t spoken to any of them about their ideas because I want them to come along with ideas that are fresh, so we’re not chatting about them and debating them beforehand. That doesn’t really serve a purpose.”
It’s expected interchange usage, concussion protocols, knock-on rulings for contests in the air, scrums, the wrestle and any tweaks that can reduce stoppages will be discussed. The new try review rule — which was trialled in dead rubber games last season — where the bunker can review a try after a referee has awarded it and while a player is preparing to convert will also be reviewed.
