| Quote knockersbumpMKII="knockersbumpMKII"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'!!!!'"
Excellent, both informative and amusing.
It's no wonder Union has always had the better goal kickers !
So try's are scored to allow the opportunity to score a goal, it all makes sense now  |

| I'm sure that when I were a lad, like half a century or more ago, a "goal" in Yawnion meant a converted try, as distinct from a penalty goal or a field goal (Yamnionese for a drop goal, I think).
EDIT: Sorry, just realised that this is well off-topic and also off this board.  |

Off topic or not you are correct. In rugby ( full stop, before the split ) it was called a 'try' because registering one allowed your team a 'try' at kicking a goal, for which maximum points was awarded. |

I read this morning that John Smiths will no longer sponsor the Grand National. With the McGalpharm recently renamed the John Smiths Stadium, could it be they are looking to further invest in RL?

I read with interest the call for increasing points for a kick but agree that it would lead to teams kicking more.
Id actually like to see a reduction of the value of a try earned as a result of a kickon the same tackle - call it a kicked try.
Might just encourage a bit.more handling and bit less bombing and repeat sets which to.me are killing the spectacle.
As for the sponsorship - Im staggered that in a World cup year and with last seasons sponsorship this wasnt wrapped up months ago.
Perhaps splitting Magic weekend The playoffs + grand final and the league into sponsorrship packages if one overall sponsorship cant be secured.
