In a game of Rugby League the points systems are as follows:

Try = 4 Points
Conversion = 2 Points
Penalty Kick = 2 Points
Field Goal = 1 Point

Points get scored by carry or kick a ball down a field, crossing the ball over the opponent's goal line and grounding the ball which is a try. After a try, the scoring team gains a free kick to try at goal with a conversion – a kick for further points. The opposing team attempts to stop the attacking side gaining points by preventing their progress up the field by tackling the player carrying the ball.

Field position is crucial in rugby league, achieved by running with or kicking the ball. Passing in rugby league may only be in a backward or sideways direction. Players have to remain "on-side" by not moving ahead of the player with the ball. However the ball may be kicked ahead for teammates, but again, if they are in front of the kicker they are deemed "off-side." Tackling is a key component of rugby league play. Only the player holding the football may be tackled. A tackle is completed when that player's progress is halted, or he is put to ground. An attacking team gets a maximum of six tackles to progress up the field before possession is changed over. Ball control is also important in rugby league, as a fumble or "knock on" of the ball on the ground forces a handover, unless the ball is fumbled backwards.The ball can also be turned over by going over the sideline.

In rugby league we dont use padding, the only source of protection is a headgear or mouthguard.
