Subject: "On-Repor"t System

What is the go with referees not sending players off? That tackle by Nate Myles last night was a send off in anyones book. And it's not just that either, several instances this year have warranted send-off but only received "on-report" rulings.

Tony Archer sent a player off for hitting someone late & high earlier in the year, and Sean Hampstead for a high tackle. Yet they won't send someone off for attempting to break their neck (irrespective of intent or injury).

I'm in no way intending to single anyone out - Every referee does it, and they're just doing what they're told to do by Channel 9 and Fox Sports so they keep as many games as even as possible.

Every coach, player, official, and TV Executive needs to be given a copy of the laws of the game and be told thats how it's going to be refereed, none of these special laws just because players get paid trillions.

The on-report system needs to be abolished, it's a blight on the game in my opinion. If it is misconduct and warrants a suspension it warrants a send-off.
