[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1121818, member: 45598"] Player safety > Fan's entertainment. Grass roots refereeing is very lax in my experience* when it comes to high shots. Any perceived reduction in the severity of the punishment will seep down the levels and encourage this further. The game is not in a position to reduce the level of protection against head injuries at all. There's also an element of fairness, replacing a player after 10/20 mins after an illegal shot that often takes the tackled player out of the game isn't a severe enough punishment. And finally, this is entirely within player's control, Gilchrist was reckless asf yesterday and Haoas was typically dangerous. When individuals **** up, the team gets punished, an orange card sounds the same as changing an intercept try or charge down try to only being worth 4 points to me, it's just daft. *I've given the sport up due to concussions, the first of which was a no arms hit to the head that wasn't even penalised, and watching my club since I'm often appalled at reffing standards with regard to this.
