The radical rule proposal to bring consistency to sin-binnings for high tackles

Players will be sent to the sin bin up to 15 minutes after committing a high tackle that forces an opponent out of a game with concussion under a radical proposal put forward by a handful of NRL coaches.

Hoping to achieve consistency when it comes to punishing high tackles, the coaches approached the governing body late last month to suggest testing a new rule as early as the pre-season trials, which begin on Friday.

My first thought was the same as the coach who commented about late-game hits. What happens if you do it in the 70th minute, right when the game is in the balance?

And here we go again with the play-the-ball crackdown. Happens every few years, then they just revert to the usual stepping over the ball once it's no longer the focus. Like most things, under late-game pressure the referees are so hesitant to blow the whistle for it.

If the tackle is reckless to take a player out of the game, the purp on top of the sin bin should be benched for the rest of the game his victim isn't coming back on. If it happens in the last 10 minutes as mentioned above suspension needed if bad enough.

Naturally it won't happen because that is far too close to treating all clubs equally.

The double standards are infuriating, NRL pull the finger out.
