  Take the two!

  We were screaming at them to take the two on a couple of occasions against the panthers, I guess the reason we haven't been kicking penalty goals is we don't have a good goal kicker. Another area BA needs to address.

  It is the new trend now. Goal line defence is so tough to crack now because teams go with only marker, sometimes none on their own line plus the fullback in the line it’s a 12 or 13 man defensive line. Gotta take the two now.

    No. The issue is the we always seem to be behind on the scoreboard so taking the 2 doesnt seem like the best option, when it is due to a shit tonne of penalties given this year.

      Exactly. 

      All our penalties seem to come late, almost as though the ref is evening out the penalty count.

      I think it was against the sharks our first penalty was in the 52nd minute or something.

  Perhaps they should change the rule that any penalty shot taken within 10 metres from the oppositions try line which has resulted in a penalty is only worth 1 point if successful!

  They need stop teams using penalties as a defensive tactic. If change penalty goals to 1 point teams would be even more likely give penalties away. To stop the tactic they need to use the sin bin more.
  
  Personally I think new rule should be introduced to combat it. Maybe introduce team fouls like basketball. If side gives a total of 5 penalties as team in 20m zone or 3 within 20m zone in a set of 6, side gets shot at goal followed by a drop out from defending team instead regular restart .
  It would kill teams to give up 2 points then field position and possible try risking 8 point turn around. It would stop teams giving away penalties quick smart.
  
  Another option is to make any try coming off penalty in 20m attack zone similar to penalty try. If score on that set get a second shot at goal. 8 point turnarounds would be huge and also make teams question giving penalties away.

    Or make penalties worth 3 points
