Jukesays:Grimmy":2c1499aj]I think totting up makes sense for minor offences (e.g. a couple of offences by the same player which weren't quite enough for a ban on their own being combined to make a ban for a subsequent offence) but I think it falls down when you take serious ones into account (e.g. If a player commits a serious offence early in the season and cops a long ban, I don't think he should then automatically cop a massive ban for a minor offence later in the year).
Not sure I've explained that well. Example: someone does a Ben Flower in game 1 and gets a 12 match suspension (54 points). If he serves that then upon his return does a mistimed high tackle worth 1 point, I don't think he should get another 12 matches for it, but presumably he would do as he would be on 55 points.[/quote:2c1499aj]
Get your point and agree, but only half the previous points carry forward I think
There's also other flaws but it's been a long day and I need to go to bed
I think we are all on the same page
happy with low level offences totting up to eventually warrant a game or two ban, but dont punish players twice for tackle that warrants a ban, and then repeat for a low level offence afterwards
i've also read that paying a fine can reduce the ban, so if a player is given a 5 game ban, then 1/2 of that will be reduce if they pay a fine. On the flip side, with Joe Shorrocks at weekend, he was given extra because the player he tackled (Croft i think) went off with head injury
i just feel that it was a move in the right direction, but needs to be tweaked and simplified as we have made it too complicated and fans are going to be in uproar again about how it is being applied
