[QUOTE="SimonG, post: 645590, member: 71048"] Good work as per usual sige. Agree that the scoring should change....I have advocated 2 points for a pen for ages. Three reasons. Always seems ridiculous that breaching the defence by crossing the full length of the field line and touching the ball down gets you five points....while kicking a pen over from near halfway is just 2 points less. In Gaelic a goal is 3 points while kicking the ball over over the bar is 1 point..so three times the reward for going the whole way. The ref has too much impact. A try is a try (especially with vid replays to verify)..theres no arguing with it, but so many pens are given at the whim of a ref and depending on whatever his interpretation is. It would increase the incentive to score tries. [/QUOTE]
