Peter Sterling has put the blowtorch on "lax" NRL players, saying they are responsible for controversy over the new stripping rule.
The new rule allows players to drop out of a tackle to enable a one-on-one strip attempt. The Roosters lost possession three times to the Raiders on the weekend in such a fashion, leading coach Trent Robinson to declare the rule too complicated for both referees and players, and in need of amendment.
Sterling said the solution was simple: players need to take better care of the ball.
