Rather than giving a 50m penalty from when there's a post mark/free kick infringement, why not go half the distance to the goal?
There was a period with the Saints a while back where they'd give away a 50m penalty in the back 20-30m of the field, so they could set up their compact zone (aka. Flood). Making it a 50% penalty would give up 70-80m rather than 50.
If there's a mark 60m out from goal and the defender holds up the attacker for 1 nano-second (sometimes it's called, others it's not with some inconsistencies) now the 50 takes them to within 10m, 50% takes it to the 30. Not a huge disadvantage and it doesn't r*** a defence as much as a 50m penalty is.
I know it has it's pros and cons. But what do others think?
It's only an idea I want to discuss, I feel it's probably not the best and the status quo might be better, but I just want to see if there's any other opinions others might have that I havn't thought of.
