The sin bin should operate independently of yellow cards. It should be on a personal foul count. Something like basketball. T...

Very comprehensive review. Of course at this time of year it can be hard to judge who's unavailable/injured/not interested/on the beer etc but it looks a fair assessment of the present panel.
