The differences between RU 15s and 7s

I personally love rucks and mauls. There may be problems, but I think you have to take the bad with the good if you want to preserve one of the best elements of rugby, which is that it doesn't stop as the result of a tackle.

In that case we should adopt my idea of completely getting rid of a goalposts and putting a massive, constantly rotating game-show like spinning wheel in the in-goal. And whatever part of the board the kicker hits, he scores/wins/loses. The options will be:

3 points
2 points
1 point
-1 point
-2 points
-3 points

Bullseye = penalty try

And there will also be a section of the spinning wheel called "bonus round", where the kicker will get 2 points plus another shot. (can only be used once). So that a team 4 points down after 80 minutes can still win a game. Might add some excitement.

Not to mention teams can drop kick at the board anytime they like.

Personally, I think this will reduce the number of penalty shots taken because coaches wont want their players risking 3 points. But it will make conversions a hell of a lot more exciting.

How am I doing sige?

Implement this now.

That's what I hate about Rugby League; a game can finish on a tackle which is stupid if it's a close game. Why not just have it when the ball is out of play/penalty?

Ridiculous.

I am not saying that ruck/maul should be abolished in RU. They are RU's features distinct from RL. What I said is there are too many PGs from ruck/maul in RU, so reducing the value of PGs from ruck/maul from 3 to 2.

Why bother changing the PG score from 3 to 2, when you can just make it so that any team who misses a penalty goal loses 1 point? Surely that will cut the number of shots down, while not encouraging the defensive team to infringe more in the red zone, (which is what will happen with your idea....)
