Quote: PopTart "But if six again is inconsistently applied, why would a penalty be better? Its the same, just slower.'"
Because a penalty includes the indication of what the offence was. Six agains give the refs the luxury of being the only one on the planet knowing WTF some were given for or not given sometimes. We got one against us v Wigan and the only obvious reason was because the home fans chanted that the referees a banker.
