[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1095024, member: 74121"] I don't watch rugby league, but I'd add that my YouTube feed is filled with weekly vids of NRL managers whinging about referees in post match conferences. I'm not saying anyone has suggested that rugby league is exempt from referee complaints. My point is managers (self preservation) and media (clickbait) have a vested interest in moaning about refs. If it wasn't red cards it'd be something else. I absolutely blame players and coaches for the number of red cards and poor tackle technique. For yellows I think the sport has massively cracked down on repeat infringement that slows down the attacking side. I think yellows in those circumstances are a great addition both in changing the dynamic of the next 10 mins, in terms of punishing repeat infringement and in terms of deterring infringements that reduce attacking play. Ice Hockey has power plays (one out of 5? players sent off temporarily). Rugby could look at rebranding yellows in a similar way. [/QUOTE]
