All that will happen is that the attacking team will tap the ball take a drive and hand the ball over in the opposition 10.

Better than a kick off and you don't waste energy chasing the ball

i know that one of RLs strength is its innovation and the fact that its not afraid to make changes, but ....

given the origins of the game, and the derivation of the term try itself, this would a step too far.

Why not introduce 1 point for tackling players in the in goal similar to a safety in A.football

Rather you could take the two and kickoff from halfway or choose to have the opponents to drop out from under the sticks and start play normally from there. Shows whether you want the points or to stack on the pressure, and would make big comebacks more exciting.

The one play without a kick seemed pretty easy to defend against and with a kick it would just be boring. I'm not a fan of the one play.

i can remember a game at galpharm last year involving the giants but cant remember who they were playing maybe catalan and the giants were losing and they had scored a try and they went to line up an goal instead they drop kicked it and was waved away i think by the touches as you can only do it from a penalty.

Ohhhhhhh, your amazing.

I wasn't talking to you.

I know........

Tackled in your own in goal area or knocking the ball out dead instead of a drop goal give the attacking side an option.

1. Give the attacking side 1 point and ball is given to defending side on the 20. So gain a point but lose possession

2. No point and restart with a drop goal as usual

Good idea in theory but don't think it'd work in practice. It would mean that at the end of a tight game, defenders would be scared to go into their own in goal area for a kick for fear of giving away a point and potentially losing their team the game.

The idea is exciting, but the game has been spoilt with rules that have been added, changed, amended, tweaked over a short number of years and this would just be another.

I like it to be honest, but it's one rule too many and we've shot ourselves in the foot.

I watched the game online last night and it was actually a very interesting concept well executed IMO. One play of the ball with no kicking allowed, just passes. A penalty try would be awarded if the defending team are penalised for any offence. Could see some very inventive set plays being tried out.

Could actually be as good an introduction as the 40-20 i think. Understand the hesitation surrounding the history of the scoring system but the game as it is now is far removed from that of the original Northern Union rules so i wouldnt be averse to seeing it trialled over here in pre-season or exhibition games.

If you score the try and then don't take the kick but go for "second try" do you still get to kick at goal after the second try? i.e giving you a maximum of 10 points from the scores

In all likelihood, yes.



Try for the other team as normal.



In those two incidents I'd imagine that as soon as the ball went dead there would be a turnover, which seems the fairest option imo.
