Message: [QUOTE="Number6, post: 2977768, member: 9008"] You’re assuming they think about the penalty when they do the foul? Grade 1s should be by definition minor careless events in the heat of the moment. Do u think Slater was thinking about shoulder charges and next week or just find a way to stop a try? Similarly if he plays in the GF since he can longer be suspended will he just take someone’s head off with a stiff arm with 2 minutes to go if game is one the line? Deterrents are far less effective than we think as is the broken glass theory. It’s more important to impose a social norm and change the equation so calculated fouls cost more at the time of offence not a week later (I.e penalty try + sin bin). Rubbing out Slater for his last game and a GF doesn’t achieve anything good unless u are a Roosters fan (whereas friends tackle seemed reckless and far more unsafe). [/QUOTE]
