Sin Bin

[POPEYE]

This is how I'd like the send off to work. Player gets sent off, team still has 13 on the field but one less interchange player to use

If you mean send of as in 'send off', not sin bin, this is a good idea . . . as well as classing a 5 min sin bin as an interchange when the offender returns

I saw the incident in the link. I think the refs got it right.

"SOUTH Sydney prop George Burgess was sent to the sin bin for an ugly incident in Saturday’s clash with Newcastle.
But he should’ve been sent off for the remainder of the game, according to former NRL player and Fox Sports commentator Michael Ennis.

Burgess lost the ball in a big hit from Knights lock Mitch Barnett in the 23rd minute which caused the Rabbitohs’ wrecking ball to lash out, first with his elbow, then fists.

“Looking at the replay, it should’ve been (a send off),” Ennis told Super Saturday."

Should have been a send off, Sin bin for penalties such as slowing down a player after a break etc, violence should be a send off.

Nope.

Should have been sent for the elbow.

Elbow straight to the jaw followed by punches. 100% send off and very lucky there was no serious damage done

Even as an avid Bunnies supporter, hard to see why it wasn't a send off. Very lucky boy. Hodgkinson not far behind though

Had Barnett not just shrugged it all off I think he would have gone.

I admit that's probably what swayed my view of it.

George Burgess was not sent to the sin bin for the elbow. That was put on report for that (but yes, I think he should have been sent). He was binned for the following punches he threw after the Knights player pushed him for resenting the elbow. Souths were grubby in this match and I was hoping the Knights would win.

Trent Hodgkinson was binned in the last 10 minutes and he deserverd to go in my opinion for mouthing off at the referee. I just wish other referees in other games would follow suit.

Spot on.

Hunt could have gone too for the closed fist, swinging arm to the head.

But you'd consider yourself pretty unlucky to be sent off these days when the referees can take the easier "on report" option.
