Send off dead?

[Perce]

Chambers sin binning was a crock. Watch the replay - nothing there to merit a sinbinning. Koro however...

 

[Jaegerex]

Exactly, and yet flogs like the OP and his jester friend BennyV act like they don't know exactly what I'm talking about.

Actually, what they were referring to went straight over your head. Chambers was binned in the Sharks v Storm game.

Yes, that should have been a send off today but it probably wasn't what you'd call obvious enough.

But the initial question is dumb, players will be sent off this year. Hell, there were several binnings this weekend weren't there?

Haha not obvious enough. It was a blatant trip, not even one of those sneaky put your hands out to make it look like an accident trip.

And sin bins are not the same as send offs.

If tapau got 1 week and no send off
This will get ??? Has to be zero

Except, you know, hold the player down after the tackle was completed so his teammates could get into the defensive line.

You mean the one that Parra begged for but didn't get?

:lol:

Refs won't sin bin blatant professional fouls, what makes anyone think they will send someone off?

Couple of token binnings, the refs ignore professional fouls all the time. Players know that refs are very very reluctant to bin a player, hence they hold down to give away the penalty instead of the try. Cowboy's on Friday night were the perfect example, at the very least they should have had one player banned.

Ultimately, the refs ref how Dessie decrees.

It cracks me up how trips were automatic send-offs back in the day, but stiff-arms, flying elbows and spear tackles were all good.

i read an interview with Archer earlier this year where he got asked about the 5 minute bin, and he said it needed to stay at 10 because 5 wasnt a "deterrent". given the refs rarely send anyone off for 10, i'd say the 10 min bin is a deterrent to the refs who dont want to be criticised.

 

[Frank_Grimes]

You claimed the sin bin was dead.

The fact it happened tonight proved you are wrong.

IBM is a moron, but to be fair, one or two binnings across a weekend littered with professional fouls and repeated ruck infringements doesn't indicate the sin-bin is anything other than flat-lining.

It was a blatant trip but correct me if I am wrong, I don’t remember Reynolds getting sent for any of his 3 trips.

As for sin bin, they can’t sin bin him there because he was onside thus not a professional foul, just foul play.

 

[forward pass]

Refs are too scared to send off players because of the imbalance it immediately creates in the game. They will cop a hiding if the side that is a player down loses a game and it the send off is deemed incorrect.

The easy solution is that sent off players can be replaced after 10 minutes - counts as an interchange. Won't be such a big decision then.

An intentional breach of play is the professional foul - which is why holding down after a break is also cause for a sin bin.

The fact is there was no chance he would be put in the bin because Chambers was sent to it in the first half. The referees are scared to do it once, let alone multiple times in a game.

He's a shrewd canny operator Dessie.

I hate it and I love it.

LOL.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

People would respect the refs if they just reffed the rules.

Some of the pedantic shit they blow penalties for is sad and then the stuff - Koro's trip - are gutlessly left for someone else to decide on.

Personally i don't think Chambers should of been binned. He didnt deliberately hold the player down for an extended time, he actually let go of the player fairly quickly, but because of the attacking player flopping about and dropping the ball the ref gave one of those 50/50 penalties. Chambers may have accidentally given away a penalty, but i don't think he deliberately gave away a penalty (which is what a professional foul is. It has nothing to do with try scoring chances). I've seen a few times that players give away penalties while defending their try line, they'll essentially lay on an Opponent, with no effort to move, until a penalty is given. Now because their isn't a try scoring chances obvious they don't go to the bin, but they should as giving away a deliberate penalty is exactly what the professional foul sin bin is for.
