Message: [QUOTE="Roger Explosion, post: 2118999, member: 1855"] I just can't believe that seemingly smart guys like Vossy are promoting crackpot rules. Newsflash, cross-kicks are already punished, the conversion is out wider and it is harder to kick. Firstly, I wouldn't change anything. Got no problem with the current balance, but I can understand if people disagree. But I'd hate to see things like the Inglis/Gasnier try in the test and Falou's brilliant work in Origin 3 taken out of the game. If you are compelled to reduce the power of the kick, there are some sensible rules you can bring in. The easy one is the shorter in-goal. Doesn't take out the try from the kick, but it does increase the skill level involved (essentially making every kicker in the comp have to play as well as Kimmorley when he was Melbourne). Might have the extra benefit of finally doing something about the scary metal fence one metre from the dead ball line at Mount Smart. Even then, I'd miss the drama of a player trying to get out of a deep in-goal after a good grubber kick. So yeah, I vote for change nothing. Besides, Issy plays for us next year. [/QUOTE]
