The occasional 'short' kick off could be tried - it does seem to at least give a chance of regaining possession.
With regard to the deep kick off I don't have a problem really with where the ball lands, as long as there is enthusiasm by our players to 'get into the faces' of the opposition and that is what is not happening enough. We should be pinning the opposition in their own 20 and pressing for the error! The same enthusiasm we should be showing at the play the ball - we don't move up quick enough! Get in their faces they don't like it up 'em!

State of Origin kicked off every kick exactly the same as us. Go figure

So we have the same kick off as State of Origin, just need 17 State of Origin class players to make it effective!

I would drill the ball as low and as fast as I could preferably at a player from a kick off. Always causes problems.

With so many kicking coaches available to the club, I feel like the coach and board are letting the club down by not taking advantage of this.
I may complain.

I remember cas trying that one year. Danny brough would try it 2 or 3 times a game. They were relegated at the end of the season.

I don't think that was a major factor in their relegation.

It's also not a major factor in changing are season around but some on here seem to think it will.
