Don't pretend to know the reasoning behind current rules so correct me if I'm wrong:
But would it be better if a player was sent off (5/10 minutes whatever) at time of incident, no judiciary etc instead of putting incidents on report?
For example, JWH tonight, obviously led with the forearm, clocked McQueen in the neck with an elbow. In post game interview said he could be out for next 2 final games.
2 reasons I have for sin-bin > judiciary:
1. Wouldn't it be better if Souths got the advantage as it was their player who copped it?
2. I want to see a team field its best players. I want to see Roosters lose in the finals with JWH, not without him. It would be an anti-climax.
Could, say, video refs do the job for 99% of judiciary hearings? And leave the really dirty plays for the judiciary, i.e. Gallen pulling stitches, Burgess abusing genitals etc
Thoughts?
