[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 946905, member: 20605"] I only have one real beef with scoring penalties, and that is the number of technical infringements that can result in a 3-point kick at goal. What I would rather see is an attempt made to stop scrums being used as a points generating machine. The scrum is supposed to be a means of restarting the game that involves a contest for possession of the ball. Why not make all scrum infringements (that is, all [B]Penalty Kick Sanctions[/B] listed in Law 19) an [B]indirect[/B] penalty kick? It would be more than a Free Kick and less than a Penalty kick - the team awarded an indirect penalty kick would not be allowed to kick for goal, but they could kick directly into touch to gain field position and retain the throw in. Such a system would effectively make no difference to the result of scrum penalties awarded when the mark is out of range for a shot at goal. [/QUOTE]
