SHORT DROPOUTS A NO-BRAINER
THERE’S one part of the Canterbury Bulldogs’ game that makes rugby league a better spectacle.
It’s the contest for the football from their short line dropouts.
When you think about it, every club should be doing it.
By taking a shorter kick, you’re probably a 25 per cent chance of getting the ball back.
If it doesn’t work, your opponents start their tackle count 15 or 20 metres out.
From the regular and longer line dropouts, the opposing team is usually back to the 20 metre line by the second tackle anyway. So it’s worth the risk.
Now that scrums are such a farce, any contest for possession makes the games more interesting.
