| If you increased the value of the Penalty goal to say 5-6 points, you would see far less penalties being kicked as there would be less infringements. Decreasing the penalty goal would only further increase the number of kicks per game. Most teams defensive mindsets are better to let them have 3 points for a penalty than say 5-7 for a try and conversion, if you increase the Penalty goal then defensive are going to think twice about committing a transgression if a team is winning by a converted try 7 points it can afford to give away two penalty goals only 6 points and still win, if a Penalty is worth 5 points then by giving one away it brings the game closer if a team is winning by 7 points, 2 penalties and the team will win by 3 points.
This idea has already been trialled elsewhere, where the Penalty Goal was worth something ridiculous like 10 points, in the game that was played no penalty was given away by the defending team.
