  I think it was humourous at best. It wouldn't work in a 'real' game.
  If the NRL all stars had taken their conversion attempts they may have won the game, but it seemed like they were more interested in the show than the result. I loved the attempts at the wall. It surprised me that Wayne Bennett would have a play like that in his coaching book.

  Worthy of a trial in what is an exhibition game, but it would never be introduced into the normal competition.... well at least i pray it won't.

  Dumb concept. The maths dictates that it just won't work.
  
  The average kicker will convert 50% of the time from out wide (I guess). You would automitcally take the 2 points from 10 metres either side of the posts.
  
  So in effect you give up 1 to 1.5 points to take the 2nd try which means you need to score a try every 2.5 to 4 attempts to break even. This is just impossible. The defensive line is set and you have 1 tackle. My guess is you would see a try one in 12 attempts at best.

  I reckon all it did was give the line marking bloke more to do painting those big white dots on the field. Like others have said, good for trials & exhibition games but no good for the real thing.
