Contrary conduct
From Rugby League Wiki
Contrary conduct is behaviour by a player which is "contrary to the true spirit of the Game".[1]
Acting "in any way contrary to the true spirit of the game" is deemed misconduct by the Laws of the Game.[2] This adaptable law has been applied to deal with a range of behaviour, including the incidence of chicken-wing tackles, for example.[3][4]
