The administrators of rugby league are poor and lack feel for the game, hence we get people like Greenberg(politically correct) and Beattie-(a washed up Labor lefty politician with no idea about the game)("JJ Gillitan"). A try should have far more weight than the current difference of only 2 between a conversion goal/penalty and a try.
NFL touchdown 6, Rugby Union 5, only NRL has its head in the sand.
Not only should the reform be made where a try should be worth 5 or maybe even 6 points which would make the game far more exciting, Golden Point is a joke and a farce and it should be scrapped. It isn't played in semi finals, finals, Grand finals unless it's still deadlocked after extra time, so why is it played in regular season, it's a total contradiction in terms. You either have 5 mins each way or have a draw in regular season games, it shouldn't be one rule for the regular season and another rule come finals time. Not allowing a side to have the opportunity to respond to the field goal a-thon is farcical and blatantly unfair as far as sport goes.
In the above 4 games if a try had been worth 5, Cronulla would have lost 25-24 against the Raiders in Round 14, or it would have been 28-28 in the case where a try was 6, lost 16-15 v Canterbury-(18-18 in the case of 6 for a try), lost 28-27 v Brisbane-(32-32 in the case of 6 for a try), and it would have been 17-17 v Canberra(Cronulla 20-19 in the case of 6 for a try). Of course with the closeness of the scores and a try being 5, and/or 6 in those games it would have changed the complexity of the game, but quite definitely a try should have far more weight than it currently does. Unfortunately the people that run the game of Rugby League have no vision and no lateral thinking. Tries are what people want to see, not goal kicking or field goal athons deciding games.
