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

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.
