Watching State of Origin this year each game had about 20 tackles that would have seen players in SL walking off the pitch and hit with bans.Sita's tackle was a bad one yes but in the overall scope of SL the disciplinary panel are completely over the top. It's a rough, tough game. Played by big lads who are filled to the brim with testosterone and are expected to go and run through brick walls and stay calm and focused at the same time.
The disciplinary reviews don't match up with the live spectacle the game wants to show. At the minute they want two completely different things and that's why the game has become stagnant, predictable and at times, boring.
This isn't a knee-jerk reaction either, I think it's been this way for a few years now and annoys me when I see players from any team banned over stupid stuff.
