Quote: rollin thunder "what we don't want to see is a silly knee jerk reaction from RFL and refs and somebody getting send of for something soft like a lazy arm. the westwood challenge was a straight red in almost any era of the game, and the ref bottled it. if he got sent off nobody would have any complaints and no debate.'"
Agree with this. A sending off and a 1 or 2 game ban would suffice.
I understand Smokey's point about refs being unwilling to red card players. Could we maybe introduce a 20 minute sin bin? Or a 10 min sin bin along with that player being subbed at the end of the 10 min sin bin. So he'd play no further part in the game but the team would only be down to 12 men for 10 mins?
