Only a try less games is where the game gets decided on kicks, and those games are extremely rare.

Eh ?

Sinfield knocked us out of the playoffs in 2011 by a kick. (2 tries each)

We lost the semi final again Hull KR with a kick. (2 tries each)

Like I said rare!
Neither of those argue against me.

In either examples, had we scored 3 try’s to 2, we wouldn’t have been beaten without a kick!
And if our ‘rubbish’ kicker had a 33% average with 3 trys to two, we win!!

So you see, the game is all about try’s. That is why a conversion and penalty is 2 points, not 3. Otherwise we can have a 15-12 score like we see in rah rah, and not see a try.

So your post backs my statement up perfectly.

(In RL) Kickers don’t win you games, but they can lose you one.
