we make 10 metres they make 40 metres wot is going on cant we kick the ball .

Penalty kicks you mean?



Because our kicking has been very good lately.

ha ha ha ha do you go too the rugby

It's true, we lose the chance of an average of 20 metres on every penalty we get. Luke in particular plays it far too safe in terms of distance.

They reflected the theme of the game, Fev chanced their arm at every opportunity, we played within ourselves.

Of late our kicking has been good. Branighan had so much to do tonight, don't think you can really blame him.

Rubbish, we chanced our arm & kicked out on the full early in the game from a re-start.

Inexcusable on our own pitch. In comparison with the usual game we play, we were very Conservative due in part to Fev's awesome defence.

Awesome defence as you put it Haighy, doesn't come into kicking out on the full.......





Flawed arguement.

Its not the sort of mistake Paterson usually makes though, even you must admit it is a shocking mistake for someone to do on their home ground. Remember last season every kick off we went short as we tried to get the ball back, that is chancing your arm.

Best defence I've seen all season. Not good for our attacking.



A coaches job when defences are awesome are to do the basics right, complete your sets of 6 and play percentages and have a good last tackle kicking game to break a defence through a skillful kick & maybe a lucky bounce of ball on last tackle. Unfortunately, a Calland coached side don't usually get to the last tackle!

it usually worked for us as well. we have stopped doing it though, maybe we should go back to it more, sometimes kicking for the guarentee of territory is a good option. the kick off though is the same every time.



other teams kick it to different sides we kick it to the same man every time we kick off
