Having checked the disciplinary page on the RFL website, we do have the poorest disciplinary record in the Championship. Does not make good reading

I totally agree.

It's provocation.

Well I'll give you the benefit of the doubt then

No. The solution is in the coaches hands. If there comes a time when team performance/results start to be affected by individual players, then the coach will take steps to fix it. If the team performance is unaffected, then the coach will feel he has the balance right in the teams he selects.

What do you suggest they do, more lengthy bans and bigger fines?

To be honest Reffy,I would create an incentive,double the fines but 70/30..70% of the fine to the RFL and 30% to the player/ref/touch judge, the offense was committed on.If the offending player doesn't commit a similar offense within 12 months then that player will get 20% back from the RFL.
