Could be quite a tough penalty in certain conditions or when under some pressure - but would support this if the ball goes dead from the teams own half or maybe from the attacking 40m mark?

I agree with your first bit, you defo have the players to win both the CC and grand final.

I honstly think leeds was kicking dead on purpose to get there line sorted as you was struggling big time.

I think Leeds kick it dead on purpose too. Leeds have the opinion as do I that not many teams if any can go 80 meters against us. What we are very good at doing is kicking it dead setting the line giving a daft pen away and letting a team kick down field and giving away cheap field position where teams often score. I am frustrated with the amount of times Leeds give away cheap points from unforced errors or weak pens.

Deliberately kicking dead early in the tackle count =

meh.... let's hope they have remembered to pack a couple of these in the Kit bag, or it'll be a tad boring tomorrow.
