As Al Pacino says "You find out life's this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game - life or football - the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don't quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast, and you don't quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break of the game, every minute, every second."

I get goosebumps listening to that speech, if I was CC I would copy it word for word at halftime on Friday to see if it can spur that lads on.

It’s not a Hail Mary play if you practice it which as full time professionals they should be. Would you class Don Fox’s kick off at the water splash as a Hail Mary or a fantastic piece of well executed rugby.
Again these aren’t things you do every kick off, but playing what’s in front of you and having the skill to execute plays is something professionals should be doing.
Slightly off topic but similar we received a kick off from Widnes last year, did a set move and went length off the field and scored, we have never to my knowledge used that move again. It was a brilliant piece of rugby. The overall point is play heads up Rugby and kick with purpose not just for the sake of it.

Great as the Fox kick may have been, you still come down to "stick or twist". The clever kicks look great or innovative when they work, much less so when they dont.
A deep kick off isnt for the sake of it, this is used as the "most reliable" re start (see previous posts).
Ok, vary the trajectory of the kick but, deep into opposition territory is the way to go.

The deep kick towards the corner is the norm, maybe some variation would be good but some would be crucified if they made a mistake. I'd be more worried about our 5th tackle plays, if I wanted to worry that is.

people keep mentioning about a deep kick from kick-offs but we have Grix who at Salford couldn't get it past their 20, even Chester picked up on this in his post match interview.
