[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 468952, member: 20605"] Interesting point of view.. The change of points did not have the effect you have describe here back in 1971 (when the try went from 3 points to 4 points). It also did not have the effect you describe in 1992 (when the try when from 4 points to 5 points), so I see no reason why it would do so if the suggested points scheme was adopted. If you think about it, when a converted try was worth five points (3+2), the conversion was worth 2/5ths, or 40%, of the value When it went up to 6 points (4+2) the conversion's worth dropped to 1/3rd, or 33.3%, of the value. Under the current scheme (5+2) it is worth 2/7ths, or 28%, of the value Making a conversion 3 points makes it worth 3/8ths, or 37.5%, of the value, restoring it almost back to what it once was.
