Sin bins

[Sabre]

4 sin bins in tonight's game. A but of a worry for what's to come. What happens when a game is 13 on 10, or descends into what's basically a 9s game. Especially when it's mostly for innocuous stuff. I can see it causing problems this round.

Soft...
Not a fan.

 

[mikey]

Agree it's too soft. But as long as it's applied evenly cest la vie

 

[innsaneink]

It's ridiculous

Sick of all the constant changes... Dunno what this games about anymore

 

[gallagher]

They had to address these endless infringements when defending your line. I like it.

 

[Speed2burn]

Was a rubbish game of officiating

If I wasn’t a tigers fan I would have switched it off

The whole point is to stop teams giving away a dumb amount of 6 agains on purpose. There'll be a lot of sin bins to start but once we get through that the game will be better for it

Last time the refs did this and penalised heaps for wrestling everyone complained and it stopped, then the wrestling got way worse.

All these rule changes and yet the most bizarre rule remains - how can they not fix the rule that punishes an attacking team for knocking the ball on over the goal line when attempting to score with a 20m restart to the opposition?
The last penalty and sin bin with no time on the clock was farcical. Complete flex by Simpkin.

Should only be making rule changes at the end of the year if at all. Who knows what to expect week to week

One just now on TPJ... insane

I mean moreso the sign bins for high shots.
Repeated set restart infringements I'm okay with.

But the soft 'high tackle' sin bins are garbage.

Pretty much sums up my thoughts.

That was ridiculous.

1. It wasn’t a penalty

2. Since when do you get a whole set as advantage and come back to get another set

I think all the sin bins were for repeated infringements just penalties for the high shots

It's a penalty now but how the hell do you get a full set as an advantage. Was it a case of the bunker picking it up that late? Ridiculous if so.

Hopefully they keep it up. Would have been the perfect opportunity to bring in 5 minute sin bins.

I agree, it makes a lot of sense

 

[watersider]

Horrible horrible horrible. Newcastle sin binning was barely a penalty, Joe sin binning wasn't worthy either.

But the Tyson Gamble sin binning wasn't even a penalty, it's out of control. Terrible. Stop it.

 

[JC99]

Okay, the sin bin are getting silly now. PVL footy
