The rest of your opinion was fine.

Can you think of another game where you get a lesser score for conceding an "own goal" than actually kicking one yourself?
Off the top of my head I can't think of one.
Making a rushed point worth 6 would certainly liven the game up around the goal line.
It could also be used to remove the ambiguity around touched off the boot etc as this would now be irrelevant.
A further extension would be removing the requirement for the attacking team to kick the ball through but this would change the game a lot and would probably lead to rolling maul type situations near goals.
As a result you would still have different scores for attacking and defending teams punching or running the ball over which might not do away with the ambiguity at all.
Thought it was a decent discussion point even though I don't think it will ever be implemented.
Are there any other games that score differently in that regard?
