Quote ="redballoon99"When we have a scrum feed and are defending our own 20,its crying out for either Ratchford or Holdsworth to boot the ball as hard as possible on the first tackle for Jody to chase.The opposing fullbacks are always up in the line,leaving about 80 metres of field with no defenders.Lee Briers has done this move often with great results [ Lee Penny etc What have you to lose? Even if we didnt collect the ball, we will have gained many yards upfield, which our forwards seem unable to do .'"

Danny Brough tried it on us last season.
Smacks of 'Rugby' and I doubt McCrae would allow such radical thinking involving such intuition & skill.
