Just seen most of the Cats team in town. some big units amongst them!

Unusual as it seems, I actually agree with you. Until the referees and RFL are consistent and punish such incidents immediately i.e sending off, then offending teams will continue to see the benefit of foul play rather than the team offended against. On report is just a cop out for weak referees who should at the minimum being sending players to the sinbin.

I was thinking that when Sam Moa was sent off for that infamous shoulder charge the video referee commented on the occurrence, but for me there is no doubt it was so obvious on each of those three occasions you mention that the commentators all said it should be off so there is little doubt the video referee would too. I think it would be a massive improvement myself.

You see the issue for me is that the offending team should be one man short for their transgression, thus giving an advantage to the opposition, waiting till the following Tuesday to ban the player might handicap his team but gives no advantage to the innocent opposition on the day, who as I said earlier might even be actually penalised themselves when a 'fouled against' player has to come off or continues with concussion or his movement restricted.

Would 10 mins in the sin bin for anybody put on report be a start ?

Most certainly would I think, but I can't see them budging, although if it was for all on reports it would certainly give an advantage to the other team for 10 minutes and its probably the best solution because they won't use the other idea (consulting with the video re on possible sending off's) because
they'll say there isn't a video referee at every game.

It at least shows we can agree occasionally. Cheers
