Message: [QUOTE="KingWebcke, post: 2531692, member: 8372"] it kind of is different though ... in almost every single way. if you want to use a cricket analogy then striking off a try is better compared to overturning a dismissal and allowing a batsman to return to the crease later on rather than a short run. first of all, the magnitude of removing one run (or even a few if you do it 2-3 times) is so minute compared to removing a try. an average cricket innings is ~300 runs so you're altering the final 'score' of the game by 0.3% or something, whereas removing a try in rugby league accounts for so much more, often a quarter of a team's score. secondly, cricket is a game you play in turns so removing one run doesn't really affect the dynamics of the game or severely impact on the play of either team. whereas in rugby league it would be completely different. a team like Cronulla could end up playing more conservatively towards the end of the half because they think they have a solid lead and don't want to squander it - maybe even go for a penalty goal rather than a try ... only to be told at halftime that some of their points have disappeared. all that changing the score would do is stop Team A from being fucked over and create the possibility of Team B being fucked over instead you address the issue at the time (via the VR, or a captain's challenge or anything like that) or it doesn't happen at all. changing the scores later is actually the worst suggestion I've heard on this entire issue. I hope it is just an attempt at baiting posters like me [/QUOTE]
