That was simply embarrassing for us, as Titans took 3 short kick offs after we scored the trys and we couldnt catch any of them.

Dont we practice that during the training how to diffuse short kick offs?

opposition coaches will be taking notes as Titans just kept taking short kick off till the last minute as if they knew that they will come up with the ball.

last try was scored as Titans got the ball from short kick off.

Klemmer scored his try in 79th minute of the game, we should have kept possession till the end.

If the game depended on it there would have been more desperation from the boys, truth is the short kick off is hard to master and doesn't work all that often, how many times does it end in a penalty for not going 10 or over the sideline. The team has bigger issues that it needs to fix.

I wouldn't read into it. Short kick offs are a lottery
Spot on. If the receiver takes it they're 35 metres better off without running the ball which makes it that much easier to attack the opposition line.

I don't see why short kick offs aren't done more often tbh

what annoys me is when a player can jump up high to swat the ball away and down to who ever grabs it.....yet the same player cannot make a grab for the ball when he jumps up for it

Attacking teams are always at an advantage with short kick offs. You basically have 4-5 players against 1 (Defending) when contesting the ball. All the attacking team needs to do is tap the ball back.

They are a low percentage play. That's why u only ever see them done by teams playing catchup footy

Lol you forget that the fact that they were taking short kicks off just means we were scoring try after try
