Quote: Grimmy "Because a conversion doesn't take any entertainment away from the game. They aren't choosing to take a conversion instead of attempting to score a try. Bringing in a rule that may encourage teams to kick drop goals rather than score tries has the potential to take away from the entertainment IMO.'"
You could argue that the GF would have been more open to taking risks if a team was loosing by a 2 point dropped goal rather than a tight 5 then a kick on the 6th aimlessly downfield or into the corner as most matches are.
Not saying I'm in favour of the change but is worth considering
Kicking in general in rugby league is pretty appalling for a professional sport. Maybe 2 points for a drop might improve the quality of drop kicks and kicking in general.
For me kicking is an integral part of the game that isn't given the attention it should be all teams. I always laugh when Sam Tomkins got some kicking coaching a few years back. If he had more than 2 sessions I'll show my Harris at the top of King Street.
For s sport that goes on about territorial possession the lack of a single player in the comp who can make 30 yards from a penalty kick on a consistent basis is totally laughable.
