In short:

Roosters coach Trent Robinson has backed Wayne Bennett in calling for an overhaul of the NRL's use of the sin bin.

Speaking after two opposition players were binned against his side at the weekend, Robinson believes the league may have "overcorrected".

What's next?

Robinson's fourth-placed Roosters will face the St George Illawarra Dragons on Sunday afternoon.

Trent Robinson has joined Wayne Bennett in calling for an overhaul of the NRL's use of the sin bin, claiming the sport must try to maintain the integrity of the game. 

Adam Doueihi and Apsiai Koroisau were both binned against Robinson's Sydney Roosters on Sunday night, at one stage leaving Wests Tigers with 11 men.

Together, the pair became the 70th and 71st players sin-binned in the opening 17 rounds of the season.

The issue prompted Bennett to last week urge the NRL to only use the sin bin for professional fouls, and leave dangerous play in the hands of the match review committee.
