Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 3011371, member: 2221"] It was a stupid play, period. No one with a bit of a footy brain makes a deliberate choice to gamble on a field goal from close to 40 meters with one minute on the clock, 2 more tackles and the score tied, knowing there is a reasonable chance you're handing the opposition a 7 tackle set and enough time to punish you. The excuse about the kicker being rushed closer to the goal line is absolute nonsense, because the opposition will be keeping an eye on your kickers and rush them anyway as soon as one gets the ball, especially if that player is normally nowhere to be found near the position he is, like Isaako was. I highly doubt the success ratio of field goal attempts from close up isn't better than those from further away (unless your name is Ben Hunt, where it will be hovering around 0), as long as you set yourself 20 mtrs from the defensive line and you get a good ball from your dummy half, there is no way any defender gets close enough to interfere. And if the pass is crap, or anything else happens where you're unlikely to get a good shot at goal, you're at least close enough to go for an in-goal grubber and try to get a repeat set. [/QUOTE]
