[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 953062, member: 20605"] Here's the thing Last week Scott Barrett made contact with his opponent's head with his shoulder, with force... and the result was a red card Last week Kurtley Beale made contact with his opponent's head with his shoulder, with force... and the result was.... crickets! That is the problem I have with Barrett's red card... its not that he didn't deserve it, he probably did. For mine, it was at least a yellow card. No, the problem I have is the [B]application[/B] of this Law/protocol. Its random, its inconsistent, and its unpredictable. If we are going to red card contact with the head, then lets red card ALL contact with the head. If we aren't going to red card all head contact, then don't red card any of it. [/QUOTE]
