an idea from her-indoors

[Dickie E]

in water polo a sin bin returns at the earlier of the designated time or a score.

Maybe in rugby a YC should return at the earlier of 10 mins or a try. I quite like the idea.

Thoughts?

No makes the pounishment arbitrary and unequal.

Tow players deliberatly knock on. One serves 10 min, the other serves 1 min. How is that consistant?

 

[Ciaran Trainor]

As above!

 

[chbg]

I think that is also happens in Ice Hockey - termed Power Play?

Not our sport.

What is a 'score' - is a Penalty Goal to be ranked the same as a a Penalty Try?

 

[buff]

That is the case in ice hockey for minor (2 minute) penalties. It does not apply to major (5 minute) penalties.

may also encourage teams to kick for goal rather than the corner, if they know that they keep their advantage.

interesting idea though.

It's consistent in the same way that a petty criminal either pays a fine or does some time.

Once your opponent has benefited from your transgression by scoring a try, your time is deemed to have been served.

So a YC is worth either 10 mins or a try ... it isn't worth 2 or 3 tries.

so we've never done it that way so we should never do it that way? Somewhat non-progressive

as per OP. Try would bring the player back on

If you go to prison, you don't get released based on the reaction of your victim - you're there for a prescribed amount of time

so what is it about rugby that makes ice hockey & water polo concepts ridiculous?

NO it is different. If yo uare convicted of a crime a sentence is paased. If you get 12 months (Accepted you will serve 6 unless bad behaviour Daft but consistent) you serve the sentence according to the judgement. YOu don't go to prison and then get a call Ok it's ok the guy the stole from won £50 on the horses so he's not suffered so badly you can go now.


A YC is worth 10 minutes for the other side to make of it what they can.

this is not the place to float new ideas!

I remember making the (much milder) suggestion that we change the signal for a PT ... and all hell let loose!

Indeed take Ps and try for DGs One converted try = 7 points / three kicks = 9 points Why not look for 9 rather than 7. Also you could get a P/ DG DG and then a convered try to end the ban period scoring 16 points.

Daft to me.

Not sure this is relevant. If an Idea is good, why not? For me this is simply a bad idea on its own terms.

yeah, fair enough. Brain duly turned off.

The counter arguments were not based solely on newness.

But isn't the actual time served inconsistent now as there has to be a break down in play before the player can return to the field.

There have been occasions that I have noticed where time spent has extended to 12 or so minutes whereas other have been just a few seconds over 10 minutes

Some matches last just over 80 minutes of playing time; some last much more until the ball is dead without a PK or FK. So your inconsistency is consistent.

All several of us have done is found failings in your wife's idea. Only was the sort of "we don't do that sort of thing in rugby. Others were valid exposing of faults.

In fact most were not.
