Our penalty count last year was abysmal, and it was the big thing that I wanted to get fixed this year, so far it doesn't seem like we've done that.
I look at it in basic terms, but we gave up 121 yards on the weekend, now when I was playing amateur rugby we'd get drummed into us that penalties result in points for the opposition, the way we would have looked at that 121 yards would equal 10 points gifted to the opposition (at least). Regressing 100 yards would result in a TD (7 pts) 21 yards on top would at least be a FG, which is what usually happens, we get penalised so much that the opposition rack up the points.
Does any one know if there is any system in place with the rams where they fine the guy that gets penalised? A % of their game time wage to an injured football players charity would be a start...
We used to have to do laps of the pitch post-game if we gave aways soft penalties.
Anyone have any other ideas on how we can reduce the penalty count?
