Quote: ShropshireWire "A wins a wins but flipping heck that was a tiring watch. Mikaele looks like the heft we need despite looking knackered at times.
Why do we keep kicking to opposition players? RL newbie question - but surely if we just kick it where they aren’t standing then we could make up a few more metres.
Felt tense too didn’t it.'"
Its a bit like fielding in cricket, fullback covers x amount of pitch, the other winger covers the other. Kickers are under pressure to get the ball away and it's unlikely you'll get any distance if you keep it low, or it'll get charged down.
In most cases where it does hit the floor it's either a kick, or it's a good kick that the catcher is too lazy to get in position for.
