Canberra co-captain Elliott Whitehead has backed the NRL's plan to tweak the six-again rule, saying the frequency of teams illegally slowing the play-the-ball was out of hand last season.
The only mooted rule change in 2022 will mean a full penalty awarded instead of a six-again for ruck and 10-metre infringements when the attacking team is inside their own 40-metre zone.
