Jughead Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 No case from me, I’m not a fan, personally. I think we do golden point wrong (if we even need it in the first place) and I’m not a fan of the two point drop goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 (edited) I like it . The ones in the NRL , often under time and scoreboard pressure are great pieces of skill . You don’t see that many , its not having a detrimental impact , in fact quite the opposite . I wasn’t sure at first but I think it adds to the excitement and, like any skill , executed well it’s good to see Edited March 30 by DavidM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like 40/20 kicks, there aren't many (not even seen once every match), and they require a very good kick to achieve.

Adds to the jeopardy I think if you go into a game not being entirely sure which rule set we're playing to We should lean into it. Set off a claxon at random times with various special rules announced for two minute windows. Two point drop goals, chuck a second ball on the pitch, forward passes allowed etc. Arcade style RL, no two games the same. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiltshire Warrior Dragon Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 1 hour ago, Archie Gordon said: Drop goals. Hear, hear! 1 hour ago, Martyn Sadler said: We already have two-point drop goals, which can be kicked after a penalty is awarded. Isn't that just called a penalty goal? My support for Archie G is that field goals were something quite different (see other threads on this forum some time ago) and I think it is foolish of the Australians to call drop goals field goals. Historically, it is confusing. The legendary 'Dally' Messenger was a field goal specialist, but not necessarily a great drop goal kicker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
