[QUOTE="Scotty, post: 1121859, member: 74100"] My issue is simply the deterrent is there of a red card/ban and it still happens, the issue is it cannot be fully reduced to zero head injuries due to the nature of the sport. Id be happier with 20 min red cards and increased bans - make the ban the big deterrent - Add in larger fines if the player doesnt pass the HIA and just make it a nightmare off the field if a player goes high. Player safety is very important but a deterrent can only change behaviour but cant eliminate every idiot who does something stupid in the moment or makes a mistake. Entertainment is important (less so) but we need to grow the game so 20 min red card is a good way to change behavior(with ban/fine) yet game entertainment is kept up. [/QUOTE]
