Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3133500, member: 9052"] I think I've said previously that a 30/30 would actually be more beneficial to the game and provide more tactical opportunities for teams. - If it was a 30/30 the fullback and potentially a winger would likely have to be back defending the kick as soon as the opposition is outside the 20 and would have to stay back to keep defending the 40/20... that would open up the edges for quick spreads and more attacking footy within your own half. - Teams don't often like kicking from within their 30, but as soon as you got a quick ptb you could fire a kick downfield and keep the opposition on the back foot to help swing momentum in the game... something that is needed in this current zero penalties world. - The 30m line also gives you a bit more bang for your buck on the kick. A kick inside the 20m might barely see it get to the other side of the 50m, plus you're likely to be completely on the back foot with no momentum to kick from in the first place.... whereas a kick from your 30m, whilst not preferred, would likely see it get to the opposition 30m and tackling the kick returner somewhere around the 50m. I mean how many times do you see a team kick from inside their 20m for any reason other than last tackle after being absolutely belted... the rule was only brought in because of the affiliation with the existing 40/20... it offers zero tactical purpose and was probably introduced after a pitch of "what about a 20/40 rule?!?!?"
