SuperCoaches were last month given the chance to have their say on scoring changes for 2018 — and the results are in.
The following three stats will be added to SuperCoach scoring for 2018:
* Intercept Taken (+5 points): Only given if a player takes the ball cleanly and his team ends up with possession. A player will not be awarded an intercept if it results in a six-again for the other team.
* Hold attacking player up in goal (+3 points): Awarded to a defensive player who holds the attacking player up in goal. Any player who has done enough to warrant a tackle stat would also be given a held up stat.
* Kick that goes dead (-3 points): Any kick that goes dead/touch in goal without being touched by another player. The erroneous kick must lead to a 20m tap and seven-tackle set for the opposing side.
