Not as far as some one us to go but maybe a start

Personally this is not far enough - a financial penalty would have more sway but it would have to be same ammount for each player based on earnings...

i.e sinbinning 10% of match fee or weekly wage
sent off 25% of match fee or weekly wage
Penalty for handbags 5%

That way everybody is being treated the same and the lower eraners are not penalised as much financially.

If in doubt - cut it out!

In my 20's i would not have seen 50 press-ups as ANY sort of punishment...

I hope we don't get the scenario were one of the less bright Wigan players knocks on and then starts doing his press-ups whilst the Cas players scoot off up the field.

Dumb is fun, isn't it?



I was watching some old footage of Benji Marshall on Youtube yesterday. In one game against the Eels, he was awarded a penalty around half-way. He took a quick tap, and every single Eels players was looking away, facing their own goal. Benji ran right through them without a hand being laid on him, and dotted it down under the posts.



Duh!

Like Benji, Sam T did the very same thing against London (or Quins) a few years ago.

As for the 50 press ups for a knock on, that in itself seems ok.

So what is the sanction for giving away a daft penalty? On the SLS Matty said we conceded 15 pens in the HKR match. No mention of the punishment for that!
No doubt there is one and it will be severe, they've had the sense not to publicly announce it.
I mentioned a financial fine in another thread. That was also suggested in an earlier reply.

The penalties against are as big a problem as knock ons, if not more so!

Well, quite. Nobody knocks-on deliberately (although I accept it can happen if you're attempting an ill-advised offload, say), whereas you can choose to walk away from handbags.

Less bright could be said to be a light bulb that has just popped, or someone who is so devoid of a sense of humour he could be said to have come from another planet.
