Junior rugby league in Queensland will undergo a revolutionary shake-up in 2019

The Courier Mail reports a year-long trial will see the under six grade play a modified game of tag league with tackling banned.

Premiership points, semi-finals and grand finals will also be abolished for under sixes through to under 12's.

Kids will be playing simply for fun, in a bid to retain junior players beyond the age of 13.

If successful, the changed rule set will be rolled out across Australia in 2020 by the NRL.
