[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 1093097, member: 65365"] I think the rules need to be harsher but not go back to what they were. There is too much of a gulf between a yellow and a red guven it can be millimeter or milliseconds that differentiate them. My view is the behaviour is only going to stop if coaching of tackle technique changes. At the moment it’s not worth it for a coach to coach differently because if your team stops making the types of dominant tackles or clearing of jacklers that risk accidental foul play, then you lose, simple as that. Therefore the on field sanctions need to be harsher. And People won’t complain about cards ruining the game if they become more normal and even across teams. So, any contact by head, arm, or shoulder to head is a 20 minute red card. Bring in the black card for deliberate offences. More generally they should attempt to remove subjectivity too, eg unsuccessful intercept that results in a knock on is automatic yellow. For scrum advantage any player in the attacking team can hold the ball over their head within the next two phases to signal they don’t want the advantage, otherwise they’ve effectively decided to take it; same for penalty except they get 5 phases to decide. Every three penalties for same offence is a yellow. Every five penalties generally is a yellow. I need to do more thinking on the solution for preventing dangerous clean outs in jacklers [/QUOTE]
