You shout 'mark' anywhere in the field and have a go at the posts.Could you tell me what "Goal from mark" was?
100% agree.I think that's one rule that can safely stay abolished.
I've never seen the point of a mark anyway. They're invariably called when the catcher is under little pressure, so why can't they just crack on with play? And if they are under pressure that just makes things more exciting, why should a defender get a free hand?
I agree with this take completely. Kicking should be discouraged. It's tactically lazy. Attacking running rugby with ball in hand is where it's at.I'd like to see it trialed but with a rule that prevent a kick at goal, so you can either tap and go or kick for territory. Think it could have a positive effect of reducing kicking in the game particularly the box kick without eliminating it altogether. Teams are unlikely to try them at halfway or in their own half as the risks of the opposition gaining good territory outweigh the benefits. They still might try it the odd time in the opponents half as they do now with the mark in the 22.
Think it would reduce the amount of kick tennis as well as if the opposition receives the ball with time and space its to their benefit to not take the mark but kick back quickly while teams are out of shape. Where as if you kick long and have a good chase, the opposition can mark and take their time over kick or tap meaning the chasers are out of the game. So your better off running than kicking unless you can hit grass.
