[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 963242, member: 56232"] It's possible to disagree without being a *** about it you know? Main point is the extremes are where things are slipping through, red card offenses and repeated cynical offenses. Both of which are causing problems in the game. I was to see the extreme incidents properly punished but I'm also sick of teams getting away with lots of cynical play on their own line or in the scrum. If no new card is brought in to be a less severe and thus more readily handed out than a yellow then at the very least I'd like a definite limit on the number of penalties a side can concede defending their own try line before a card is issued. Wales gave away 3 or 4 penalties back to back defending against Australia and at that point an extra penalty is itself barely a punishment. If they can keep racking up the penalties without even a warning then as a spectator it gets very frustrating to watch. Likewise the front rows playing silly fuckers in the scrum. Red card needs to be sorted for player safety but the lower end stuff needs to be sorted for the sanity of those watching. [/QUOTE]
