If I was to be critical of referee consistency I would like to point to the lack of use of yellow cards in the red zone.
Frankly I think in all upper grade matches, Prems through to S15 and test matches, refs should include in their pre-match chat with front rowers, teams and captain, that second PK infringement in Red zone will automatically lead to yellow card and every PK thereafter.
This may mean a team losing 2 or even 3 players, but people have paid good money for S15 and test matches to watch a fast moving, free flowing game with lots of points being scored. Whilst we are a game we are also now entertainment as well.
