[QUOTE="Black Heart, post: 435157, member: 44806"] Which is why I said I was speaking from a marketing perspective. From a supporters perspective I couldn't care less if teams enjoy kicking drop goals to win games. Do I think 3 point rugby is boring? Of course. But i'm certainly not going to complain if teams decide to play to their strengths to win games. I do like some of the ideas presented here about making the drop goal more of a risk to take i.e. making a failed drop goal the equivilant of a dead ball for the reasons already stated. For starters it would lead to more accurate kicking and an added dynamic to please general supporters whilst perhaps cutting down on the number of attempts (or at least poor attempts) to force teams to run a bit more which would appease newcomers to the sport.
