Instead, all of us suffer the punishment.
To that I say: boo fucking hoo. Call Ofa afterwards and tell him your mangina got hurt.
So you have no good argument? You support red cards but are unwilling or unable to provide any evidence of how it acts as a deterrent. When you get back in a corner by having to admit it is a punishment, you resort to petty insults?
You're making a pointless fucking argument, so I'm giving you exactly what you deserve.
Red cards are there to act as a deterrent by lowering the number of incidents of high tackles because players know it can cost them a lot. Does it always work? No. Players make mistakes. it is a fact of life and occasionally a red card is given out for a particularly stupid or lazy tackle.
And I think Steve Devine and other concussion sufferers think its a good thing.
Flip your shitty argument on its head: why do we still have yellow cards? Why don't players just stop infringing or making maringally high tackles that don't meet the red threshold?
Fuck it - take away red AND yellow cards and piss the ref off while we're at it.
My question is does it ever work? If we are serious about dealing with concussion in rugby then maybe we shouldn't have two 130kg players running into each other. I think the argument is more fundamental than the one we are having.
I don't know how Steve Devine's opinion is more or less important that anyone else's. I'm sure there is a myriad of views among former and current players.
We have yellow cards as a punishment and as a deterrent. A yellow card is given for a particularly bad penalty or succession of penalties. It is designed to punish the team for playing negatively or cynically.

We are back in the UK.
Arguable if that is a good thing based in the quality of the game...

This is a
terriblestandard game from TJPFTFY

Ok I'm firmly on the TJP hate train. He made no effort to get the pill out of there. Worst scrumhalf performance since that bald dude in 2009. Forget his name.

Hodgman under a bit of pressure there.
But TJP looking up instead of just doing his job.
Lomax needs to push on his side. Hodgman held his own which is why it wheeled.

There’s something about Suncorp!!!
We’ve been here before many times.

Both of them are yellow cards. Stupid decisions that destroy a code that is struggling anyway
Give refs back discretion.
Then good refs would have gone yellow.
Refs do have discretion. Berry could have said the were both mitigated by players falling.
OK, more discretion.

SB knocked it on so did the Wallaby.
TJP did something good! -

I think it's been quite entertaining. Close and tough.
Few mistakes but that's what you get in close games with good defence sometimes.
