Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 2853814, member: 8988"] Question: why isn't the send off rule used more? Answer: it seriously impinges on the game result, depending on the time of incident. Some refs will send a player off with 10 to go but I don't remember the last time a player was sent off in the first half. We need to allow refs to use the send off without fear of a sacking. The most obvious is to allow the first player removed from the field, be replaced with an interchange. I would make a 10 minute wait for this to happen, simulating a sin bin. It would allow an otherwise good team to compete and limit the ref's impact on the game (the chief reason send offs aren't used for dangerous tackles). The "sin bin" time still hurts the team to prevent dangerous strategies of targeting key personnel and its only for the first player on a side removed that an interchange could replace. [/QUOTE]
