Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3335406, member: 9853"] Part of the reason the on field fines went up is they're in lieu of longer suspensions that can knock players out of rep games and finals. The catch is the kind of players who make rep teams are generally paid more. The younger, lower paid players are the ones being hit hardest. The genie's out of the bottle on dangerous contact. I don't think that's ever going back in. They're okay with policing the ruck with the 6-again rules but they want to crack down on teams like Melbourne gaming the system by deliberately infringing early. Hence the suggestion to bring back penalties for the first two counts. [/QUOTE]
