Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2130511, member: 1764"] A few comments in the Broncos Talk forum about Peter Wallace needing to perfect his cross field kicking, and a couple of people lamenting "boring" cross field bomb tries. So, what would you do, rules wise? Would you do anything at all? It's perfectly valid to say leave it as is. My thoughts: 1. For kicks, for a try to be scored the ball must be picked up before the try line, and then planted. This takes away the dive and score. The only exception is point 4 below. 2. If a ball is marked on the full in goal by an attacker and forced, it's a try. 3. If a ball is marked on the full in goal by a defender and forced, it's a 20 metre restart. 4. If a ball is kicked in goal, not caught cleanly, and forced cleanly (downward pressure applied) by a defender, or knocked on in goal by attacker, a 20 metre [b][i]drop out[/i][/b] results. 5. If a ball is kicked in goal, not caught cleanly, and forced cleanly (downward pressure applied) by an attacker, or knocked on in goal by defender; or a ball is tapped dead or touch in goal by a defender, a line drop out results. 6. If a ball rolls dead in goal or touch in goal, 20 metre restart as is the case now. The only situations that change from the current rules: - any ball in goal grounded by defence with no knock on - 20 metre drop out instead of line drop out. 20 metres gain, but kicking team still gets the ball back. If you knock on etc, still a drop out. - any ball in goal grounded by attack with no knock on but not caught on the full - line drop out. Not a try, but you get the ball back. All other situations are the same. NOTE: this is NOT a joke thread. I'm serious on this one, want people's ideas and discussion. [/QUOTE]
