Great news.

I love how the official RFL press release mentions they are adopting the NRL rules regarding injuries, but then doesn't explain how the NRL treat them

Good. It was ridiculous they were removed when players are coming into just as much contact without Scrums.

Not really sure how they improve the game now. Being all game plans were built on without them. They will be even less contested now then previously..

IMHO the game was becoming more like 'Touch ruby" without them. Scrums need to be tidied up, but their removal didn't make the game any faster.

Tidy up the ruck before tidying up scrums. It will improve the game far more than any change to the league structure or scrums

Hopefully like we see in the NRL, teams will start using scrums to introduce creative set plays.
