Is there any sports rules that you would change?
It is not
very easy to suggest rule changes to sports, because there are too many reasons
for and against a lot of variations.
I have
heard about the possibility of adding a bonus point on to NRL teams that score
four or more tries similar to the rugby union super 14.
I cannot see it working; teams are already trying to score as many tries
as possible to win games. The only
possible way it could enter the NRL is if a field goal is made to be worth 3
points similar to rugby union.
I would
like to see the AFL remove the point for behinds, I cannot think of another
sport that rewards teams for missing.
Soccer, I
would like to see change it’s name to soccer instead of being called football.
Football to me is a generic term for any sport using a ball and the feet,
that’s why we have rugby league football and Australian football.
I would
like to see rugby league scrap the golden point for round games, and introduce a
golden try rule for finals football.
Going back
to soccer briefly, I would be interested to see the effect of having double
points for goals scored in general play, and a single point for penalty kicks.
This may add a bit more excitement and encourage players to show a little
more skills and enterprise to score.
Finally I
wish to have a ban placed on Americans calling themselves world champions for
winning their national title.
