get more advantage out of that, because they do lose some meters on the field in the kicks.

It's not a bad idea, I don't think anyone's really thought of that, but you watch, as soon as someone starts doing it, they'll all go, all the coaches will go, their players, and say, right, well, who's our guy that can do that as well?

I remember, I played as a kid, as a young man, with a bloke who used to be an AFL player, and he was very good at line kicking too, because he knew exactly how far he could kick,

And it was always coming down, and both were always trying to jump up and touch it, but they always just missed because he was so in tune with how long his actual kick was.

He knew exactly how wide away.

And I think Greg Brenton was a bit like that too when he did the drop punt and brought that into rugby league back in the 70s and 80s.

Place kick for the line, yeah.

He used to bring the sand on.

Yeah, he did too.

Yeah, he did that because he got more accuracy and more distance for that very reason, which is fascinating because at the time it slowed up the game.

Now you can get three place kicks in the time they take to organise what they're going to do for a penalty.

Which is generally a tap off the ball anyway.

It fascinates me how long they take to get to their tap and then when they finally get there, they go, oh, tap and run it up.

Yeah, I don't.

Look, that could be right.

It's unlikely.

There have been times in the past where the Queensland coaches ask the club coach to do something for them and the club coaches are Queenslander and in on the game.

They generally say, yeah, righto, and they go with it.

I tend to think that, I think South are trying to just smarten up their right edge a bit though.

I think that teams are so aware that South are so dangerous down that left edge that you almost double team South's left edge now.
