| Quote SmokeyTA="SmokeyTA"...Why i think it would improve the spectacle is that we see too many games imo, that are won in a 10/15 minute period, were 2/3/4 tries pretty much ends the game as a competition, it would allow, during these periods, teams to keep the scoreline ticking over and keep in touch. ..'"
How, though?
If team B can't get a touch of the ball, which is why Team A keeps scoring, how would points allocation make any difference?

| They will get a touch of the ball though, probably not get in to a position to score a try, but more like, in a position to score a penalty or drop goal .

| God save us from the embarassment ( clearly not felt by Union fans ) of one team scoring two tries to none but losing to their opponents who kick five penalties.

| Jamie Fosters Value would go through the roof, if kicking became more valuable.
Get a penalty on half way, he's going to get told to kick it every time. Any penalty within 50m's of the try line would be a kick. With a penalty being worth more than 50% of a try, what about the attraction of more niggling in the tackle. Losing the ball on purpose to try and secure a penalty.

Or conversely hands in at the PTB, and in and around the ruck has a much worse punishment so is eradicated from the game.

Or it would grant the "big" teams even more free points with the iffy calls they already get being magnified by penalties being worth more.

| Quote SmokeyTA="SmokeyTA"I’d agree, I think if League didn’t exist then Union would have moved a lot closer to what League is now
I also think that if there wasn’t the animosity toward Union, and it was looked on like NFL is, then we would possibly look towards bringing some things back from Union, like lineouts instead of scrums, and possibly the scoring system.'"
The RU scoring system is one of the worst aspects of their game.
IMO union should adopt Leagues scoring system to make their game more interesting.
With 3 points for a penalty, much of the attacking play is based around drawing penalties from the opposition and less effort is put into attempting to score try's and where did they get 3 points for a drop goal.
I'm sure that if league didnt have 4 pts for a try 2 for a conversion/ penalty etc, then Yawnion would possibly have used the same tarrifs.
The scoring system in League is far better than Union, leave it be.

RFU rules have always awarded more points for goals than tries.
Excert from RFU History of scoring: 1886 (accepted):-"A match shall be decided by a majority of points, a goal shall equal three points, and a try one point. If the number of points be equal, or no goal kicked or try obtained, the match shall be drawn. Where a goal is kicked from a try the goal only is scored."
Later penalty kicks were introduced, allowing teams disadvantaged by illegal play to kick for goal and score points if successful."
Later in 1891 a goal other than a goal after a score (a drop kick in other words) was worth 4 points. The value of kicks for goals has almost always being thus until 1971 when they introduced a 4 point try as an 'experiment'!!!!
