Penalty kicks

Posted by Mad Dog on April 9, 2018 at 8:19am

This year teams are almost guaranteed a handful of penalities in the opposition 20. It is now feasibly to score 6 points from penalty kicks alone. It is now 2 games we have lost to penalty kicks. Yesterday’s game was 1 try a piece and the panthers won by 2 penalty kicks. We turned down 2 kicks.

at the moment we just don’t have what it takes in attack and I believe we should take the 2 and keep the momentum. Each time we play into the opposite 20 we have a 25% chance of scoring at the moment. We need to play smarter until the confidence comes back.

It’s really stupid how the refs are controlling the outcome of games by giving so many penalties in the opposition 20! Some of these penalties are inthe extreme and really unnecessary. They’re very selective of when and what team and at what time of the games they give these penalties. It’s starting to actually ruin the game.

We should of learned from the sharks game. One try a piece and sharks win by 4 penalty kicks. It means that parra defence is pretty good but we have not adapted to this years style of game directed by refs.

2 referees have killed the game it's a absolute farce now if a fan sitting 100 to 200 mts away can see the error how the f..k can 6 people controlling the game miss it and it constantly happens all the time.
