[QUOTE="ak47, post: 156921"] The game is so professional now there are no black n white miss-matches. They need to implement a league style points system, where 2 points for penalties, and 1 point for FG’s or have short armed penalties, so you cant go for the 3 There is too much kicking in todays game, it’s a farce, its become soo professional this game is turning into a game of FOOTCHESS………where your kicking does the talking, not the running or tackling – the main factors of the game I’ll accept the territory kicking, but I wont accept going for drop goals or 3 points whenever ur in the attacking territory It takes away the element of tries. If you look at the rugby stats and how the game has evolved since turning professional, you will find a massive decline in tries, a massive decline in line breaks, a massive increase in 3 pt penalties a massive increase in drop goals. The way its evolved you need to have these traits to win – they are boring traits, and killing the flowing game they play in heaven. Rugby League is now a faster more flowing game………1 argument I always faced when growing up, is that Union was more flowing as a ruck would be over, then run, and another ruck then run……..league was tackle, stop, play the ball, tackle, then kick after 5 tackles. Now union is tackle, run, then penalty or scrum or injury, you take ur pick…when 10 phases happens the commentary goes nuts, as it’s the most condinuity they have seen since the amateur era I still cant believe in the pinnacle of our game the RWC final, we only crossed the line once or twice, and barely even entered the 20m zone. Union is more Yawnion today then ever. We need to implement a points sytem that encourages more running of the ball, as 1 kick is more than half a tries worth – sorry that isn’t Rugby……..thats criminal, and a blight on the game in todays professional era. Try 5 points Penalties 2 pts FG – 1 pt Or bring in short armed penalties, unless it’s a yellow card offense, then u get ur kick at goal……otherwise tap n run *****, and make them tackle you, while the game plays out rugby as it should be.
