Officially RLFAN's most Doe-eyed Happy Clapper. Big Steve wrote: The Internet has provided some wonderful creativity, opportunities and knowledge sharing but it has also given a worldwide forum for people you would leave a full pint behind in the pub to avoid having to listen to them. aboveusonlypie... If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg



Quote: Him "Yep. It is a problem in their game. Teams deliberately play to try and get either penalties or penalty tries from infringements in the scrums & mauls.

The best thing Union could do (without losing 2 players, scrapping lineouts icon_rolleyes.gif

And yet, tries from well placed kicks are still relatively rare.


Go figure.

Partly because they're just as easy to defend. Touch the ball down in your own in goal and get a 22 dropout. Hence is ceases to become part of the game. Their loss eusa_boohoo.gif

Not just a question of 'easy to defend', I think. Poor kicks in league are easy to defend, too. did you see Jack Wighton for the Raiders against the Sharks the other day?

More a lack of skills and awareness in the halves, I fear. Even the likes of George Ford, often praised for his kicking, has a kicking game nowhere up to SL, let alone NRL standards, in my book.
