Hit ups and dummy half running are running and there is plenty of that. I don't want to see more of that type of running. I want to see more passing. Especially inside own half passing. That is the essence of the game. All the best tries of the year are big passing plays from inside own half.
40/30 promotes more passing.
I agree that 5 hit ups and a kick is boring, but making 40/20s easier isnt going to help that...
Ive said before, if you want RL to be exciting offer a zero-tackle if the attack can carry the ball across the 20m line. We encourage big running sets by offering more possession and punish boring, conservative football by giving the other team more of the ball
Plus EVERY set has a definite winner and loser, which will make the game more exciting moment to moment.
(I admit there will probably be some unforseen results, but i think it would be worth trialling. Particularly in RL9s.)
