I've been watching the union this weekend. Good to see the Ossies go down the drain. Anyway, the line penalty kicks almost always made at least thirty metres. Why is it so difficult for our guys (read Ox) to kick more than ten metres. It would seem easy to get a punt kick coach to check which players had some ability, and then coach punting technique. Maybe to kick long, long legs are required. This would knock out the Ox, and maybe that would be a good thing. Is it because he's the captain he gets to choose who kicks for the line? If the game is one of centimetres as many suggest, then it beats me why penalty kicks from Ox only go ten metres or so when with a decent kicker we could pick up another twenty metres or so. I raised this point with our esteemed coaching staff (DDes included) and they simply didn't appear interested. :bdh:
