Magic round is in the books with a crackdown on high contact, more big wins than you could point a stick at, a monster upset and plenty of quality individual performances. Here are my NRL talking points from Round 10.
The crackdown will teach players where to tackle in a hurry
Accidents are going to happen in a contact sport – no one is disputing that.
And while the argument that the crackdown on high tackles went way too far this weekend, or that consistency is still an issue (and both have merit) exists, the bottom line is player safety should be of paramount importance in this sport.
