Quote: PADDERS "Union is just an inferior game, too many rules ,too many penalties , not enough tries, too many imported players at the highest level , poor points scoring system 5 for a try , 3 for a drop and 3 for a pen takes away the need for scoring tries which imo is the whole aim of the game, put the ball over the whitewash !
Thats why it's turned into YAWNION |'"
You know originally the "try" was simply to earn a "try at goal" and was not rewarded by points in its own right*.
[size*On further research a try was awarded with 1 point. [/size
