Just read a report re NRL All Stars v Indigenous All Stars. During the game there came into play what they termed Experimental Double Try Play. Unless this is a wind up I gathered that after a try the scoring side has an option to refuse the goal kick and go for a second try by restarting play 15 metres out with just one tackle available for the mto score a try. Read the report see what you think. It wasn't very explanatory.

There's a similar rule in American Football. Definitely interesting. I'd like to see it introduced actually.

No thanks, the kick at goal is steeped in the history of rugby. The only reason you put the ball over the line was to get a 'try' at kicking a goal, which got you points.

Its a terrible idea, the two point conversion works in the NFL, but i would hate to see the rule introduced here

In a tight game it could make it very exciting, to have an 8 point score rather than 6 for a team that is behind would be good. But you know it'll just be a kick to the corner and everyone hopes they get it. That could just make it boring.

Personally I hate it when we try to be gimmicky. The rules are fine as they are.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39110.jpg



The kick at goal will always be used even if the rule does get changed, but in a close game at the end it would be great IMO!

One Town.. One Team.. One Love.. The future's bright, The future's Tomkins!! Keep Wigan "Wigan" Especially playing at Wigan which is a real home of Rugby League.”QUOTE : Cameron Smith 27/10/09.:



would be a good play if say for example you score a try right in the corner and your goal kicker is having a mare!! why not have a bash at another try if you feel you wont kick the goal,

saying this i can't see it happening any time soon , seeing as the new rules regarding lifting one leg etc we will soon be reduced to touch and pass icon_lol.gif

Quote: CAM. "There's a similar rule in American Football. Definitely interesting. I'd like to see it introduced actually.'"


true...but you dont get another 6 if you touchdown again on 1 play, you get 2 ...its called a 2 point conversion, as opposed to 1 pt for the kick.

rarely used but when a coach calls it its usually worked out mathematically.
watch carefully..they always go for the 2 pointer when 5 behind with not long left.
normal kick = still 4 behind needing a touchdown
2 pointer = 3 behind and still touchdown to win , or field goal for extra time
miss the 2 pointer and its still touchdown to win as per 1 point kick.

thats when coaches employ it.

you do know dont you that the kick is optional?

if you have a minute left and score to go 2 points behind, you can decline to kick and get the ball back quicker.
thats enough rule on kicking imo.

Oh right thats not so bad then, i cant help thinking that the kick at goal will just 'fade away' though.

Unlikely to see that it would, it's just a chance to get a try off one tackle as opposed to often a certainty of 2 points. Just like in the NFL the 1 point option is the one most likely to be taken for the much higher probability of scoring it
