8 point try.

[Noa]

Though I agree with Warren Ryan that incessant dummy-half running can make the game predictable I don’t think that making him pass will result in anything else except one-pass hit-up’s which is even more boring and less incisuve than dummy-half running.

If we want to see more length of the field tries, which is one of the main reasons WOK would like to see the change, I think we should make any try started inside your own 20 or own 30 metre line worth 8 or even 10 points. Obviously the try needs to scored from the immediate play-the-ball not consecutive ptb’s.

I can really see League becoming an even better spectacle when teams would chance their arm to try to score one of these tries.

What do the people think.

NO I mean NO. I thought u were talking about the extra shot at goal 8 point try..that a like.

this idea is dumb

Why. What's so "dumb" about wanting to encourage sweeping, attacking Rugby League. It's pretty "dumb" in this day and age of 1 minute attention spans to not want to make League as attractive as possible.

 

[supersoniceagle]

I'd rather the game not turn into touch football

My initial thoughts are this isnt a bad idea.....of course there'd be a few wrinkles to iron out....I think itd make the game a bit more interesting towards the end of games ...though 8 points is overboard - 5 or 6 would be better imo.

 

[Razor]

No way

 

[Lego_Man]

It would actually make things worse as youd have players doing even more stupid sh*t after theyve made a break in order to get the 8 point try. The game would become more scrappy.

 

[t-ba]

True Lego Man.

I personally liked the Wok's Dummy half run proposal tbh. It's becoming very f*cking boring.

I'd wack in that rule and bring the offside back to 5 metres. We're losing the craft of the clever halves in favour of big ball running 5/8's and tactical kicking halfbacks...

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

maybe a 5 point try is a better incentive, 8 points is just too much.

 

[Iafeta]

No thank you.

A try is a try - quite simple really.

 

[*Paul*]

I'd imagine there'd actually be few attempts. Teams use hit ups to get out of their territory for a reason - it's the percentage play.

Plus we'd get the situation where tries and goals are even, yet one team has won outright, which would be a little unsettling.

 

[innsaneink]

As unsettling as a team losing by a goal kick or two.

 

[petetheileet]

This idea is pointless, i could think of 20 things in the game that could do with changing before this

 

[aussies1st]

Why change the rules of a successful sport. Leave it as is.

 

[Earl]

I think he means 8 points if the kick is successful?

 

[Master Vippo]

Im going to say no.








NO!

 

[UndertakerMike]

An idea worth persevering with.

 

[lazza]

generally length of the field tries are the result of 1 miss tackle, not from anything skillful, the benefit shouldnt go to the club for a fllukey try.

 

[*Paul*]

In extreme cases you could get a team scoring more tries and more goals and still losing.

May as well just have a panel of judges give points out of ten for each try, and add 'em up at the end.
