I love how people get so wound up over him kicking to the same spot. Some people seem to think it's of the utmost tactical importance that he kick to another player on the restarts. There's other more important areas of our game that we need to be focusing on improving rather than the bloody kickoffs.
For me it's not that it's the same man, just that they're generally very very easy takes. One yesterday was a bit tricky because it got close to the side line. I just think that if the players/coaches apply a bit of thought, the kick off can be a weapon rather than a routine. The high kick that allows a good chase, the low hard kick that is tricky to take, the kick at the gap to find touch - all things that thinking players seem to try. To be honest, I often think that we'd cause more problems for the opposition if we just put the ball on its side and toe it really hard and low.
