Quote Sibbs Rhinos="Sibbs Rhinos"But you can win the ball back by doing this?'"
Eh?
no you cant. For example, Saints V Wigan last year, Riddell deliberately kicked the ball dead over the try line from inside his own half to stop the game and get a 20m restart he did this on several occaisions disrupted the flow of the game.
If you apply the restart from where it is kicked from, if he kicks from his own 30m and it goes dead in goal, then then Saints (for example) would have a play of the ball or a scrum where the ball was kicked from, 30m out.
This encourages 40 - 20 attempts or more tactical kicking rather than a hoof down field and bollock$ to it if it goes dead we have the opposing team under pressure and we can have a breather.
