Quote: "1. I'm agree with the intent, but I don't see this as the solution. I'd rather see the defensive line at the scrum be taken back 15 metres from the loose-forward, to provide a lot more space for the attacking backs to work in.'"
Why are we trying to hammer a team that has made a mistake and dropped the ball-Its not a penalty. Maybe we should tie the defensive scrummagers together with thick rope and only release them 10 minutes later whilst also sellotaping the scrum half to the right post upright with a chicken on his head. All scorers must then tickle his balls when celebrating the score.
How would you enforce your idea 0-10 metres out? Make the defenders stand on the dead in goal line?
Why do we need more scores most true RL traditionalist would tell you its gone like Basketball as it is
