i suppose another way of looking at it is, we have removed the high tackle, violent conduct, spear tackles, grapples and other serious offences from the list of penalties.

These could now be listed as "Violent and Dangerous Play". If one of these takes place then the referee stops the game. He calls over the offending player and captain, disciplines them how he sees fit, and then asks the team with the ball whether they would like to kick to touch, continue from where they are with another set of six, or kick for goal... like i said, these could be worth 3 points.

Penalties now result in a simple resetting of the tackle count or a straight hand over for obstruction or incorrect play the ball.

I think it's a nonsense that the same amount of yardage can be gained from a penalty for markers not being square and offside as can be from a serious act of thuggery.

sure

and have end too end running game . example- scoreing team kicks off at restart

i'm sorry, i have no idea what you're talking about.

i think the scoring team kicks/receives thing is another debate entirely.

and you might get profensional fouls. like ealy in the tackle count . the defence go's for strip . its a 6 again restart penalty . next tackle they go for the strip again . another 6 again restart penalty .big deal .the defence were only penalised by 1 tackle ?? if the defence keeps going for the strip .they will eventual will get a legal strip . but it could get very messy .with all these strips going on . stripathon

in super league do you have the one on one legal strip rule ?? something too consider

the ref can still use the send off if teams keep infringing like they do now

if teams keep giving the same penalty away the ref often warns the captain any more of that and im sending the next person to the sin bin

remember when knights were playing parramatta and harrogan sent something like 4 players to the sin bin

that was funny

I see what you're getting at. Perhaps two of the same offence during the same set of six could be punishable with a sin-binning.

Fredie for once in his entire RLfans life has raised something of a valid point.
However I don't think that would be the case unless the refs start blowing for near enough everything. You'd just have the same amount of penalties as now, just without all the kicking to touch.

Something just sprang to mind, people debating about tiring defences letting too many points through through not having time to set the line.
Most tries I reckon come off the back of a penalty at some point and a 30 yard punt so you'd probably need the tired defences to score the same amount of tries as now.
This could actually be one of the better RLfans debates of recent time, could the OP find some way of airing their opinions to the RFL? Could be something to consider properly

with 3 markers or unlimited markers

you would get more side too side ball movement .more passing , better skills . so on .

field position would be even more important . centre of the field . you would have more options .left or right. more open field

this is probably the best thread ive read on here.
