Trial laws

Several new rules were introduced for the 2021 season, some of which are not practiced in other rugby leagues: ^[4]

• Kick Clock: Kickers will now have sixty seconds as opposed to ninety seconds for both conversions and penalties.
• Seven points will be automatically awarded for any try scored directly under the posts and kicking a conversion will no longer be necessary.
• Referees will work with stricter protocols that will limit the number of scrums to two per incident – the original plus one reset for a collapse, penalty, or freekick.
• The offside line will be the feed line/channel of the scrum to allow for unimpeded access to the ball at the back of the scrum for the attacking team.
• No longer will a red card mean a team plays a man down for the remainder of the match. Under the new law a red card would lead to a player being sent off and the team goes down to 14 players for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, the player can be replaced with another player on the bench.

Regular season

The regular season consists of eighteen weeks, with each team playing 16 matches, beginning on March 20, 2021. ^[5]
