Are you suggesting Starbug might miss with the sniper rifle? Surely no-one could miss Nigel Wood. |

We don't have enough quality players as it is. You want to shoot them? I'm not sure that's a forward thinking plan. |

Well these are the reasons they're trialled I suppose.
I think, as someone else mentioned, that there should be different weights of penalty for technical offences and foul play. Technical offences being a tap penalty, and foul play being a full penalty (then there's the differential penalty for scrum offences as well).
Quote: SmokeyTA "But with regards to the 20/40, how many 40/20 kicks have you seen go the wrong side of the try line? it is very rare, the bigger issue kickers face is getting the distance, and getting the angle to actually bounce and go out of play. I dont think I have seen a ball kicked from the behind the forty and it bounce and go dead behind the try line so i dont think the fact the area they need to hit is 40 metres instead of 20 will make a whole lot of difference.'"
Being a Hull fan, I haven't seen many 40/20s this year!
Having a bigger target area allows for a bigger angle. If they're going to allow a 20/40s then why not 30/30s, 10/50s and 50/10s? |

That 6 to go rule sounds like the only one with any legs to me. I think that could well catch on in the next 5 years. The power play bit is stupidly gimmicky.

| The details of the actual rule are not clear, e.g. can you just neutralize it by making your pick at the same time so it is 11 v 11. How will it be signalled? Maybe something NFL the coach throws a flag down? In which case do we get a video ref decision if both coaches do it at the same time? 
Will be interesting to watch to see which players get picked and how the teams react. But, yes, a bit gimmicky. |

| Quote: Ferocious Aardvark "In the NRL's February All Stars game the following rule changes will be trialled
1. Appalling. Stupidest idea ever. I can think of a dozen reasons off the cuff why it's a bad idea; but let's go with just one. I'm coaching a team playing against Thurston (or pick other key playmaker). Call powerplay on my first posession, and don't even attemp to score. Just use the 5 minutes to run my forwards at Thurston every play. Make him make 20 tackles in 5 minutes and effectively remove him from the game.
2. Hmmm. Why not. Let's give the refs a soft option rather than making them actually penalise illegal play.
3. Fine. Let's just kick the ball away any chance we get. Oh, wait; that's why Southern Hemisphere Union is known as kick-n-clap. Boring much?
I see no merit in any of them.

No 2 has some potential imo. From a technical infringement I’d give the non offending side the choice of a) taking a tap & resetting the tackle count, or b) kicking for touch & continuing the tackle count. Early in the tackle count sides may opt to take the metres from a kick, late in the count they’d probably opt for another set.

A ' Technical ' infringement ? , you mean ' Cheating ' ? , deliberate cheating ?
Do we want to change the rules to encourage deliberate cheating ? |

Offending team would still be penalised. How does this encourage them to cheat? |
