Quote: Jock Strapp "I may be wrong here but what ever happened to respecting the opposition when in their half of the field and taking a simple two points when a penalty is awarded ?'"
The mission of the new coaching staff appears to be to do everything opposite to what Royce Simmons did. Taking the two was interpreted as a 'negative tactic' (see discussions on here in recent times) and has not been considered an option regardless of tactical advantage. However, from what Mike Rush said in his brief post match comments, it is likely that Saints will be taking the two more often in future.
