IIRC, we only had one (by Sam T) all season.

Not good enough! Madge out!

unbeleavable

shows that they are not needed in the game

It would be intresting to find out which ground/stadium had the most ie;smaller grounds.

The RFL should scrap them. You get given brilliant field position that you don't deserve.

Going off the rarity and difficulty of them, surely you deserve the field position for managing it?

They are a great part of the game, it makes the wingers think about droping back to stop them that then gives more space out side

You have got to reward a good kicking game, here is a rule change for you to ponder if you kick the ball dead in goal the defending should get a tap from where it was kicked.

you definately do deserve the field position if you excecute a 40/20 , IMO they are not used enough although on a lot of the bigger pitched they would prove difficult

Team can't get out of their own forty but if they do a half decent kick they get the scrum in the oppositions 20

Something I have been banging on about for years.

The non kicking team should have the option of a 20 meter tap or a tap from where the ball was kicked (you would obviously pick the 20 metre option if the ball was kicked from inside the twenty.

This is similar in rugby union where there is now a scrum back where the ball was kicked rather than a 20 metre drop out. This has certainly cut down on the "negative" kicking dead of the ball.

My only concern would be where someone has put in a really good, long, angled kick which seems to be heading for the touchline, but then takes a wicked bounce and instead the ball bounces over the dead ball line or touch in goal. I think it would be very harsh on the kicking team if the opposition were then allowed a tap penalty in your half.

Personally I like the 40/20. Its a skill and the more skills in rugby league the better because in my view its still far too much forwards dominated.

I suggest we only kicked 1 because we were very rarely on the back foot all season. We were also one of only two sides not to kick a drop goal all season, the other being Castleford.
