The NRL is set to potentially revolutionise the way sin-bins are handed out in rugby league with a dramatic new rule change that has come under consideration, according to reports.
The Sydney Morning Herald have revealed that a number of NRL coaches approached the governing body about altering the rules surrounding concussions – which could yield delayed sin-binnings in the future if approved.

NRL to trial radical sin-bin rule change which could impact Super League
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Not sure on that change to be honest, so if your best player goes off the field for 15 minutes the offender stays on the field then if they fail the HIA the offender gets sin binned, if I am reading it correctly.
So what if is it in the last 15 minutes of the game, there will be no time to take advantage of the sin binning or am I not reading it correctly?

Re: NRL to trial radical sin-bin rule change which could impact Super League
on the face of it almost seems like they are trying to cut down on the play acting injuries but yeah think its wide of the mark that one.
Trouble while there is obviously a link between foul play and injury its not always the case. I think the problem is that the rules were exploited and led to a lot of players feigning injury i thought St Helens in particular were bad for this last season.
Theres only so far you can sanatise a contact sport and i fear we are getting into that zone now in which rule changes are being unenforceable without making the game a complete farce. Some of the head contact sin bins or red cards were ridiculous and they were wrong a lot more times than they were right IMO

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure
