I think it is fine as it is, and that it is important not to make it any worse since I see it as a key part of the game's balance. It is a great equalizer for things like big guys and guys with piling on.

I like the idea. Maybe make it an addition to the current rule:
if a player with the eye on him rolls a six on his ref roll he will be sent off and suspended for the next game. If the player rolls a 4 or 5 he is sent off as normal.

(In American Football a player is automatically ejected for any contact with a game official that is not directly part of the play. In other words, if you grab the ref's arm to try and make a complaint or anything, you're out of the game, but if you run into him while pursuing the running back or something then its his own fault for not getting out of the way. Ejection is generally restricted to extrordinarily late or dirty hits, a second unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, or fighting, and will carry a hefty monetary fine. Helmet to Helmet hits are also a no-no.)

I would say that it is a good idea but you have to make only 1 rule about it not 2 because the less rules you have, the better it is, dont you think?
Do as us, The eyes is keep only and foever on a 6, and it is always sent off for a game. The idea came from a friend of us that like to foul. And he said that now he will surely not foul a lot!!

Just a suggestion: After a certain point towards the end of a game, modify the rules so the Ref is AWAYS looking during a foul. (just as in the NFL, where the league automatically reviews all plays in the last 2 minutes of a game.) I tried a league once where we would fine the coach, taking the money from the team treasury... but problems arose with teams that had no money!

lol grimfang! I can see the teams in our league not having any money after a game or two also. I suppose after a while they'd learn. Maybe in addition to the regular rules, just say they're fined for any injuries they cause with fouling? ah well
