NRL final round rule changes could be beginning of a zero-scrum game – Sydney Morning Herald
With one round to play, the NRL will trial a raft of rule changes aimed at increasing fatigue in the game – and one new law is set to reduce the influence of scrums even further.
It is one of four experimental rule changes the Australian Rugby League Commission has approved. The rule changes will be enforced in the Broncos-Cowboys and Warriors-Sea Eagles games this weekend given both games have no impact on the finals series.
“I think there’s a general view that scrums are part of the heritage of the game,” NRL head of football Graham Annesley said.
