[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 477057, member: 20605"] Yes, and more importantly, adding an extra layer to the citing system narrows the cracks in that system, so that infringers are less likely to escape through them. How many times have we all seen things that we thought should have been cited, but weren't? Currently, if the judiciary decides that an offence was only worth a yellow card, they either dismiss the charge or find the player guilty but don't award a suspension. I can see the possibility that we may end up with a demerit points system. A player could be put on report, or get a yellow card, and they would cop a certain number of demerit points depending on the offence. When a player exceeds a predetermined number of demerit points, they cop an automatic one match ban. [/QUOTE]
