Will Mr Duffen allow that?

No

I may not have mentioned it on here but, i have still noticed it and it sounds like others have noticed it aswell. I do believe there were faults with our game yesterday and poor kicks into touch prevented us from gettin good field position.

Yup. It's been mentioned a few times although this is the first specific thread about it.

Thank you

place kick for touch

Exactly. We had enough last night to win had we played the game right. Things like not making an extra 5 yards from a kick are irrelevant.

We should be more worried about losing the arm wrestle in the forwards to set the platform.

It is relevant when your only makin 8 yards per kick.

Every yard counts but weve won the previous 5 games with the same kicking for touch and would have won last night had we not made some minor errors. kicking for touch would probably not have won us the game therefore its irrelevant.

However if you are able to kick it further it puts you closer to the other teams try line which gives you more opportunities to score; which therefore makes it relevant

but we'd have dropped it, hence irrelevant!!

Now ur speculating so ur comments are irrelevant

As you are suggesting that kicking longer would have made us score!!

it gives us more of an opportunity instead of just an attackin set to get further down the field.

I understand the game and the logic of what your suggesting, and i dont disagree. What i am having an issue with is you picking this out when we get beat but all is fine when we win. Some people just need to find things to pick on like this when the truth of the matter is we were poor, bombed several good opportunies and missed our goal kicks.

No but if you kick a pen 20m further thats like having an extra 2 tackles in the set compared to if you didnt.

Fair point its the first time iv posted my view on here but iv seen 3 of our 5 games and i have rasied the issue with other supporters and like Chiko says, it means you have to spend less tackles making the hard yards.

However i do agree with you that we were poor overall.

i understand that. picking on it seems wrong though when we were garbage at everything else

Fair point. Just been buggin me for a few weeks

It's a pet hate of mine. Such an easy skill to execute yet Hull and other teams in SL waste valuable yardage time and time again.

In the other code they kick their penalties a long way. I can remember the likes of Gary Pearce taking full advantage of us having a penalty. Fridays game we were never going have a great deal of penalties, hence we needed to take advantage of them. This league is going to be tight and maybe doing the small things right could give us that advantage. Didnt Thorman take the drop out as well. It wasnt the difference between us winning and losing on Friday.

We even just took the tap at the back end of the game instead of kicking into touch (saved the linesmen walking backwards)

So the point in your post was...

Gary Pearce plays for Hessle rufc
