I suspect what Dickie meant was that given the ability to kick PKs from the half way line, an otherwise innocuous 1 foot offside in midfield can mean 3 pointsNot quite sure what you mean by propensity but if players can kick the that is a skill and should get rewards.
I have more issue with the fact that a contentious penalty decision by the same ref 2 weeks in a row that decides the game.
If that's not seen as a ... concern... (and its not a hill i would die on ) what when we start to get kickers that can kick form 60m? 70m?
Paul Thorburn once famously kicked a PK from 62 metres out, on the angle. Call it circa 70m.
That would mean if that kick was straight in front of the posts, he could have potted that form just outside his own 22. Is that what we would expect - 3 points for eg an attacker after multiple phases and line breaks goes off his feet at a ruck almost in the oppo 22m line?
As i say its not a hill i'll die on
