Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2118088, member: 1764"] No Steve, I'm with ya. My view isn't to change the value of tries from kicks, but to remove the lottery tries from bombs and grubbers in goal. I have said it before, I want the rules changed so that you have to carry the ball across the try line to score a try. That is, to score from a kick, the kick has to be fielded before the try line and carried over. If the ball goes over the try line, a drop out can be forced if the attacking team regathers and grounds it. If the defending team regathers it and grounds it, 20 metre restart. Much harder to earn a line drop out. Much harder to score a try. In the Under 20s game against the Bulldogs, the Broncos' last try was an absolute classic. Cross field kick from about the 40 metre line, caught by the winger 20 metres out, beat the cover and scored. Those sort of kicking tries are breathtaking. The ones where you put bomb up into the in goal, 4 people jump for it, gets dropped and in the mess they somehow find a try...blech! Although admittedly the rules I'd prefer would mean Queensland lost the Origin series this year - Folau's brilliant take and try would not have been scored. Oh well. Perhaps it can be refined to allow a clean catch and grounding to be a try, but if the opposition touches it, or it's tapped backwards or whatever, it's not a try. I don't know, I just hate the messiness of bomb and grubber tries in goal. [/QUOTE]
