So Chris, are you saying that in this kind of situation, that the penalty given to the offending player is dependent on what the outcome is? I'm just wondering then about consistency. Should that be any different to a foul by a player that causes serious injury to the player [ie:, tripped up but the player goes down awkwardly and breaks a leg] to exactly the same foul but the other player skips through it and stays on their feet? You're probably going to say it isn't different and destroy my whole argument....
