With the introduction of sin bins at Step 7 and below for dissent, an interesting thought has crossed my mind.
Currently, it is the same sanction for dissent as delaying the game = caution. Under the rules changes, dissent = sin bin; delaying the game = caution.
Situation 1 - first half, player kicks the ball away after offending. Is this dissent or delay of the game?
What is your decision?
Situation 2 - exactly the same reaction, but 9 minutes to go?
Do you change, given that treating it as dissent = 1 player down for the rest of the game?

You have to make a judgement. Is he kicking the ball away in an act of annoyance with the decision or is he trying to delay things to get back in position?
