As part of the 'cooling off period' proposal, referees would be given the power to briefly pause a match should players from both sides be unable to control themselves after an on-field incident.
Competitions will trial a system similar to rugby where only the captain will be allowed to approach the referee to discuss in-game matters in a bid to end scenes where a horde of players rush the officials after a foul.
Additionally, 10-minute sin bins for cynical fouls and verbal abuse of officials will also be trialled.
