My main beef is that slight infractions of the rules, ie. not back 10 metres, not marking straight, hands on the ball, holding down etc.
cop too harsh a penalty. Being able to kick 30-40 metres then start again leads to tries. I may be wrong but I think I heard Manly was the best at scoring from a penalty. But that is besides the point.
Yawnion has the short-arm penalty. It's ironic that we should take a law from them, but this is one I think we need. Ou game is bogged down.
But, you are right, if a player does transgress repeatedly he should be binned for 5 or 10 minutes.
All these penalties are robbing fans of action. It is a blight on our game. Why is it that finals, and SOO matches, have less penalties and make far better spectacles?
