[QUOTE="Zootalaws, post: 1093701, member: 61187"] More rules, just what we need. Maybe train the refs to be better judges of what deserves a card in the first place. They’re automatons to the rule book as it is - if any contact comes near the head, no matter how incidental and regardless of any amount of ‘damage’, it’s a card. The same with ‘high’ tackles - they’re getting out the micrometer to decide whether a tackle was high, with zero regard for whether it was dangerous or likely to cause danger. We’ve seen the same with cricket and tennis, where technology has de-skilled umpires As a fan, I’m pretty bored with ten minute on and off-field adjudications for something that they can’t decide with the eye. If it’s so hard to work out, it probably didn’t happen [/QUOTE]
