[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 950988, member: 45598"] You're extreme examples don't work here though, they're far too high risk, if you get caught doping or spitting you're out of the game for years or months. Being told to move the ball back is nothing in comparison. A ban can't be issued here, he's nowhere near the first person caught on camera doing this on purpose, it'd be like banning someone for using hands in the ruck and getting away with it. No, one is putting another players physical wellbeing in danger, this isn't... That would result in 46 citations after every game based on players deliberately being offside alone... This is so insignificant, less significant than a missed forward pass or obstruction, neither of which would ever bring about a citation. Reversing the penalty if caught is the thing to do, it'd stop it immediately once it happens in a high profile game. Banning a player? Nuts. [/QUOTE]
