| Despite my statistical outburst above, I think that the conversion carries too much currency in the RL scoring system, being as it is 50% of the value of a try.
I'd prefer to see a try be worth 5 points (as in Union), with a conversion remaining at 2.

I disagree, It's more difficult to score a try through the middle, and the two points for the conversion reflects that.
On a slightly different note, seem to recall somebody telling me that originally a try was worth nothing, and only conversions scored. That's why it's called a 'try' because you get to 'try' and kick the ball over the posts to score. Is this correct? Or was I very very drunk at the time?

| Quote: worthing wire "Without wishing to be too picky, those stats don't add up, as you haven't taken account of penalties. The attempts of Bridge and Hicks add up to a total of 114 (also, Bridge should be on 30 successes not 31 - 1 of the goals attributed to him on the SL website was kicked by Grix).
So, in fact, we have kicked 80 goals from 114 attempts, which is a success rate of around 70%.
The best individuals in the league are over 75% - Dobson, Hodgson, Tickle, Deacon, Brough, Wilshere (!) and Westerman.'"
aren't we signing danny tickle? problem solved!

| I would revert back with Hicks. His kicking went off the boil a little before Bridge stepped in, but he's marginally the best kicker we have available. We have the opportunity to rotate if not working with Bridge & Briers. New signings should primarily have strong offence and defence qualities. Searching for a goalkicker not paramount my opinion.

Bosc under 70% this year, which is surprising. Last season he was over 83%.
