)

Your wrong Fred watch all the best props in Aussie n SL and you will find that they drive the ball straight in hard & straight to tire the defensive line and to break the advantage line
if you step of one foot or the other running in you lose power its basic science Fred
and your easier to tackle when you move sideways , im sure if you ask any pro RL
player if they would rather tackle a forward straight on or at a angle im sure 100%
would say the latter..
Momentum=The impetus of a moving object
The quantity of motion of a moving body body equal to the product of its mass and its Velocity..
In other words if a big bugger comes at you full pelt head on you have more of a chance of getting splattered than if the big bugger steps to one side resulting in loss of momentum


Watch Palasena the pie prop dont see him step he just runs straight n hard

FOOTWORK is a recognised way to hit the line, nowhere did I say I agreed with it, and its a method used by some coaches, one of the most successfull coaches at Leigh in the last ten years used to want it (Paul Terzis), his explanation was that it confused defenders, dont confuse what you think and what some coaches want.
I do watch Palasena and he also uses FOOTWORK at times and at others he doesn't, just like any other prop be he Australian, New Zealand or whatever.
Again you are confusing what you THINK I agree with to what I wrote, I have no thoughts either way sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't just like barrelling in works some times and doesn't others. The player in question sometimes uses FOOTWORK and some times doesn't, and as his usual position isnt at prop, unlike some I will give him the benefit of the doubt until he is established in that position.
