we make 10 metres they make 40 metres wot is going on cant we kick the ball .

Penalty kicks you mean?

Because our kicking has been very good lately.

ha ha ha ha do you go too the rugby

It's true, we lose the chance of an average of 20 metres on every penalty we get. Luke in particular plays it far too safe in terms of distance.

They reflected the theme of the game, Fev chanced their arm at every opportunity, we played within ourselves.

Of late our kicking has been good. Branighan had so much to do tonight, don't think you can really blame him.

Rubbish, we chanced our arm & kicked out on the full early in the game from a re-start.

Inexcusable on our own pitch. In comparison with the usual game we play, we were very Conservative due in part to Fev's awesome defence.

Awesome defence as you put it Haighy, doesn't come into kicking out on the full.......


Flawed arguement.

Its not the sort of mistake Paterson usually makes though, even you must admit it is a shocking mistake for someone to do on their home ground. Remember last season every kick off we went short as we tried to get the ball back, that is chancing your arm.

Best defence I've seen all season. Not good for our attacking.

A coaches job when defences are awesome are to do the basics right, complete your sets of 6 and play percentages and have a good last tackle kicking game to break a defence through a skillful kick & maybe a lucky bounce of ball on last tackle. Unfortunately, a Calland coached side don't usually get to the last tackle!

it usually worked for us as well. we have stopped doing it though, maybe we should go back to it more, sometimes kicking for the guarentee of territory is a good option. the kick off though is the same every time.

other teams kick it to different sides we kick it to the same man every time we kick off

I love the fact that we are a team that plays right on the edge, chanceing our arm at every opportunity. Throwing hospital passes left right and centre. But when it comes to kicking for touch it dosnt look like we have anyone who can make more than 10 yards. There was a chance in the first half when we got a penalty to stick it right down in the corner of the new stand. Fev had no one back and worst case scenario was the ball goes dead and we get it back from a 20 metre drop out. Instead we end up attacking 10 yards further up field. Makes you wonder if we even practice the basics.

Is that an anagram?

I'n surprised that your careworker allows you on a computer unsupervised.

As a matter of interest, are you still allowed to place kick a penalty (to touch)? I seem to remember players doing it a lot at one time. It would certainly allow greater accuracy.

you can kick of the floor if you like

Like we did in the first half, when we forced 4 back to back sets? Great defence kept us out.

Our completion rate is probably one of the lowest in the league, anyone any stats to prove me wrong please?

So you have nothing to say about the sustained pressure we created last night in the first half? Back to back sets, but you said this wasn't something a calland coached side was capable of?
