I'd go one step further- if the victim of the hit is ruled out for the rest of the game because of concussion, the perpetrator should not be allowed back on after the 15 minute sin bin- he must be replaced by someone else and if his team has run out of subs, then bad luck.

Really??

Who would seriously risk being suspended for finals or a grand final trying to concus someone.

You just never know
What's the point? You aren't going to play the same team in the GF that you just beat in the PF.
So there is exactly the same motivation for taking out the opposition key man as there has always been. The auto 11 day thing doesn't change that.

Doesnt necessarily have to be semi, it could be any game. Take a few years ago, the wishbone tackle when a couple of players grabbed a leg each and pulled it in different directions, it could be any game. Cant wait for your reply

I would make a change. Yesterday dolphin kaufusi got 10 in the bin for late tackle. His victim Knight Hastings then had to go for a 15 min hia. The sun bin should be 15 min in that situation
I proposed this yesterday in the "other games thread".
Except it took me a cpl paragraphs to get around to what you
summarised in two lines!@:cry:
Well at least @Ron E. Gibbs liked my rule change. @:D

Not quite sure what you're getting at... if you mean some players/teams go out to hurt the dangerman, I agree. That's how it is and how it's always been.
But I can't see how the 11 day rule affects that?

What would Canadians know about concussion? Every time you fall over you have a soft landing in a snow drift.


and your local sports wouldn't have many brain injuries, surely...!
