Message: [QUOTE="theshed, post: 3263884, member: 2290"] I get the hard stance on fighting and shoulder charges. They’re deliberate acts of foul play, and unnecessary risk. I get cracking down on high tackles but the penalty is not fitting of the crime in many cases so far. Put them on report and fine them massive amounts, or suspend if needed. Sending off a player for a fairly innocuous incident that is bound to occur in any contact sport is impacting the results of the game beyond what is sustainable to its integrity. Put them on report and let the match review sort them out. A player being off for 10 minutes has a huge impact on the result, 2 players even more so, and 2 players at once takes all doubt out of the result. It would like making a boxer fight a round with 1 hand behind their back due to an accidental head clash. You may as well just make it a disqualification because the result is the same, in fact a disqualification could often be better for a teams ladder position than having to play out a game with 2 players in the bin due to for and against.
