Honestly, i was in the its a Stupid idea camp for a while but ive changed my mind and cznt wait for the Red card rule to change, i do wish there was an exceptional circumstances card for say punching, eye gauging ect. The argument that it makes the game less safe or players arnt being punished enough i think is idiotic, dangerous no arm tackle that hits the head. Team down to 14 for 20 min then bring on a replacement. Then the player gets a 6 week ban. There is still a deterrent.
The unintended consequence of them being hot on high shots and contact with the head is more cards, more reds. Players have improved techniques but still in the heat of the moment or when tired from the game a player can make a reckless hit, no amount of training can stop it. So lets keep up the policing of head shots and get them as low as possible in the game, then punish the player after the game and the team for a 20 min period then a forced replacement.
Thats my opinion on it.
