Its not just drop goals we have to practice but also kicking into touch after a penalty! Its a poop kick when the lines man has to walk backwards. It means he thought you (thorman) was going to kick further then you actually did.

some training has to be done in that department.

Thats where Cookie is missed i think for you guys, he can make a lot of metres kicking from ball in hand.

Whether we win lose or draw, kicking to touch for a penalty is crap. aking 10 yards per kick is useless. I say it every week, what's wrong with Tickle giving it an old fashioned hoof?

I agree, our kicks to touch are terrible.

I'm all in favour of safety first, but these kicks are very poor.

Maybe,Andrew but i have to agree its negative just making touch like to see the opposition on the backfoot tbh

Negative or not he is only raising his concerns.Sticking your head in the sand will not make the fact go away.

Thorman gets no distance. Maybe let Tickle have a go again?

He (Thorman) can do it as the first two penalty kicks to touch were awful but then in the second half he did a decent one for about 30yards.
But agreed its better than not finding touch at all!

Maybe the kicking to touch could be improved with more training on the KC pitch

Will Mr Duffen allow that?
