Message: [QUOTE="Jeba, post: 2320982, member: 1827"] Righto, as a result of the Mat Rogers sin binning against us on Friday night, there seems to be a new agenda and that is to relook at the sin bin rule. [url="http://www.nrl.com/NewsViews/LatestNews/NewsArticle/tabid/10874/newsId/59494/Default.aspx"]http://www.nrl.com/NewsViews/LatestNews ... fault.aspx[/url] So what do you think the rule should be? I don't think the 10 minute rule should be scrapped. But I do think the 5 minute rule should still be bought in. And then make it 10 minute sin binning for foul play, and 5 minutes for a professional foul. However, what I don't like is the suggestion of the offender being able to come back on after points are scored. Think of it this way. 10 minutes to go in the game, Queensland are down by 18 (so obviously this is a VERY hypothetical situation) and Luke O'Donnell gets sin binned 10 minutes for a spear tackle on Darius Boyd. NSW are down to 12 men for the rest of the game. Queensland gets the ball, and NSW know they are much better off defending 12 points when they have 13-on-13 than defending 18 points when they have 12-on-13. So in a simple "misunderstanding" in defence, they let Queensland score so that Luke O'Donnell can get back on the field and the task is much easier when both teams have the same number of players on the field. So in summing up, my solution is: -5 minutes for professional fouls (so Mat Rogers would've gotten 5 minutes) -10 minutes for foul play (bad high tackles, spear tackles if not send-off worthy, grapples etc). What is your solution? [/QUOTE]
