    Kingaroy,

    Mate, I can say with a lot more confidence now that the front on shoulder charge has or is or will be viewed differently to the Billy Slater style. And if there is doubt, it looks like they are going to make some changes.

    Meninga, who is on the rules commitee in a report an hour ago-

    "The act itself, the shoulder charge, what Billy did was in the true character of our game. Our game says to our players that they've got to prevent teams scoring tries," Meninga said on Wednesday at the naming of the PM's XIII for the annual Papua New Guinea match in Port Moresby.
    "I think in the aftermath, once the emotion was kicked out of this, he deserved to play.
    "Then we can look at the rules and regulations around the shoulder charge particularly in the act of scoring a try – I think that needs to be reviewed probably with a different formula for next year."
