Anyone with a pacemaker behind the sticks would be in risk and God forbid someone with a 'Prince Albert' stands behind the goal.

having watched games at New Hunslet and seen many schools American football games ,,,,,,i can tell you that the "target area" for a successful goal kick move ....not a lot but they do move ....this can get worse if the opposition are stood close to them

What then stops Amos or any other player clattering themselves against the singular post? Sure the odds are reduced but the risk is still there! The posts are padded and it was just an unfortunate occurance for Roberts no reason to spend thousands of pounds on new posts IMO.

Plenty better things for us to copy from NFL than posts on the pitch.

I reckon after every tackle,the game should stop for a couple of minutes to get the defense back in place and also allowing players to celebrate and hit each other on the bum if more than 5 yards are made.

You go that right. Here's a photo of the said posts - they'd look ridiculous in yellow IMO!

Is that a big rugby ball in the sky,couldn't help but notice.

Not sure cj but I think that's Francis Meli trying to score just by the post!!

Yeah i noticed his head is in a funny place.

Funniest thing i've heard in ages.

Possibly if they've had home games there. I think I remember the Russian national team playing a game at the stadium in Moscow ,Luinski (??? - not sure of name) stadium or something and it was the first time American Football style posts had been used in RL.
