Message: [QUOTE="Crazy Sam, post: 2576535, member: 1751"] I've long been an advocate for greater use of the send off and sin bin for dangerous tackles as I believe the most effective way to stop players lifting others in tackles is by forcing a team to play with fewer players if they do it. A send off or a sin bin for a tackle that is dangerous but doesn't result in injury may seem "extreme" at the time, but it will absolutely get the coaches cracking down on it within their own clubs just as the automatic sin bin for players who throw a punch did last year. When you see the damage this tackle did, it makes it all the more disgraceful that Krisnan Inu wasn't sent off for his attempt on Inglis last year. McLean put his hand on the inside of McKinnon's leg, lifted up and drove. There are more than enough examples just from the past decade to demonstrate why lifting a player up from the thigh/leg is frowned upon and players should know by now not to do it. As much as I feel sorry for him, this is why I believe McLean deserves the 7 weeks he got. [/QUOTE]
