Back in my day the winger DID throw the ball in, never really understood why they changed to hooker or why every team is hooker
Likewise 10 taking kicks especially when the 10 is inconsistent or a popgun

The Power Try trial of lighting the crossbar is a good idea as shown recently on FTA.
However they need to change the lighting assembly to be fitted below the crossbar as it is restricting the area above the crossbar to score points.
I've sent a message to Western Force hopefully they refit them before the game.
It came up on channel 7 Western Force had a good report in the sport section,showing a row of LED type lights fitted to the top of a crossbar.

I still wonder why wouldn't a smart team give up the penalty just to kill momentum. Presumably, this will keep the action happening.
From another topic/thread
If they really wanted to shake shit up, they would:
a) make anyone off their feet at the breakdown roll away,
b) allow a 3 point conversion with a drop kick,
c) give everyone at the ground access to the refs mike by free-to-air radio.
And of those, the last would make the biggest difference to the involvement of the crowd with the game. Hands down...you want to differentiate from SR, that's it.
Looks like the Top 14 in France has brought this in now:

That doesn't look so much like rolling subs as an extension of the laws that applied specifically to the front row for safety. In fact, given that the 8 man bench contained 3 front rowers, it is technically possible under the current laws to have 11 subs anyway (clear the bench = 8, then replace each of the bench front rowers with a starting front rower for injury) actually, even more with a couple of blood bins, HIAs where the player is allowed back onto the field etc.
Are we sure that 12 is not a restriction on some shenanigans that have been going on in Top 14?
12 subs is not even close to the status quo. Front row subs are rarely replaced these days.
