I'm not saying to get rid of the conversion, I am saying that we need to stop the clock when the try is scored. The goal kicker gets a minute to set the ball up, have a break, shine his shoes, pull his socks up, before the clock is stopped. Stop it when the try is scored then restart it when the player is ready to kick the ball

Equally, this could be cured by taking the tap on the 30 metre or even the halfway line.
Although this sounds extreme, it would instantly prevent teams kicking the ball dead.

Why not penalise kicking into touch while you're at it? After all, teams use that as a tactic to their advantage too.

Why do we need to cure anything?

Whether it goes dead or in touch kicking the ball out of play isn't a skill is it, so why not penalise both?

Presuming the OP is not on a wind up. I would like to see tries from kicks to be reduced to 2 points in junior or development competitions as at the moment a kick to the corner is a far to familiar tactic. But in the profesional or open age group keep it at 4 points.

Thank you.

Many ppl in Auz have bn saying for ages that tries frm kicks should be reduced.

Regarding stopping the clock, yes fine, but then we'll have to reduce the game to 60 minutes, otherwise it will be too much for the players, the ball-in-play time will then be too long, it's tough enough at the moment.

Yes. They've also been saying that the number of players should be reduced to 11, the game should be played in quarters, that England/GB should play NSW or Queensland instead of Australia, that scrums should be abolished etc. They're fu(king crazy. That's why we sent them to Australia.

lol!!!!!

They sent you even further, that must say something

I would like to see set times on goal kicks, drop outs and re starts.

Scrums to be replaced by a tap re start and if not, a penalty awarded if a team fails to pack a scrum correctly.

A 20m re start to be allowed anywhere behind the 20m line, not just centrally as it is now.

I don't understand where this mentality of having to stop certain tactics comes from. What exactly is wrong with scoring from kicks?

Because the Roosters scored too many from them last yr. And they used the kick to the corner too much, Manly-Warringah deserved to have bn closer in the GF than what they were, under the scoring system that I suggested the score in the GF would have bn 14 all. Daly Cherry-Evans won the Clive Churchill.
