[QUOTE="Ospervat, post: 758223, member: 72942"] Deliberate - yes! No doubt. Should he be cited - yes! No doubt. Should he be banned for a game - not so sure! The contact seems soft. Here's an idea - instead of banning a player for "x" number of games for a soft offence in a post match citing, selectors can still select him for the next game but he starts in the sin bin. A retrospective yellow card. That's not to say that outright bans cannot be enforced in a post match citing depending on the severity of the offence. If this had been spotted in play he would have in all likelihood served a yellow. This retrospective yellow card should not have an expiry date. So irrespective of when he is next selected he will serve 10 minutes from the get go. This would cause a real headache for coaches and selectors cos at some point they would want to play him but knowing that they will start with 14. No coach wIll want to be put in that position by a player and so by implication may affect whether a player is selected or not indefinitely. Just a thought! [/QUOTE]
