[QUOTE="scuubasteve, post: 156965"] It's also interesting to read some comments from Rugby League fans who really believe that they should make try's worth 5 points and penatlies worth 3 points (currently Try=4points, Penalty=2) They believe that, by having it as 5points and 3 points, teams will be less encouraged to offend because the penalty is worth more than half a try. Which backs up my point in the post above, teams need to be discouraged from offending. Not from taking penalties for points. Drop goals should be used for deciding tight games only. So they should be only worth 1point (2 at a stretch). Drop goals should be used when the scores are all locked up with time nearly up (ala 95 WC final, 03 WC final) only. Not as a regular point scoring tactic. [/QUOTE]
