New points based changes.
Makes sense to me.

Points received for each charge per grade
Grade A: 1 point
Grade B: 3 points
Grade C: 5 points
Grade D: 12 points
Grade E: Refer to Tribunal

Games missed
6-11 points: one-match ban
12-17 points: two matches
18-23 points: three matches
24-29 points: four matches
30-35 points: five matches
36-38 points: six matches
39-41 points: seven matches
42-44 points: eight matches
45-47 points: nine matches
48-50 points: ten matches
51-53 points: eleven matches
54+ points: twelve matches

It's the same clowns determining if there is an offence and the grade. The new system doesn't address the utter lack of consistency. And the 5 points added for an unsuccessful appeal, regardless of the strength of evidence provided, suggests a panel uncomfortable with even a modicum of scrutiny and challenge.

Do we have anything to explain what each grade offence is please.

I think it's similar to the NRL system

I'm sure that with Connor, Newman, Bentley and Lisone in the side, we'll be appreciating the finer points of this system soon enough.

Although maybe losing Martin has a silver lining in this regard.

Discipline is certainly one area that we've been terrible in (irrespective of coach) in recent years.
