Rowe was involved in two, one as the kicker and one as the receiver, but the problem isn't the kick, the problem is standing flat footed to receive!
When the commentators bang on about bad delivery inside F50 from a long kick you need to ignore them.
You have to ask why the 200cm forwards are looking for cheap out the back goals when they are left one out with a defender inside F50!
If McKay or Casboult take front spot leading at the ball, who the feck is going to jump over them if they hit the ball at the highest point?
It's no use McKay or Casboult waving their arms about screaming "I'm back here!", when they have had 5 seconds to work out where the ball was going!
Same goes for those Betts intercepts, both times the defender had seconds to move towards the ball. FFS, Betts covered about 10 to 15m in the same period of time to effect the spoil!
There was one where Simmo stood their with his arms cupped astounded that the ball didn't fall in them, FFS! :
As much as I love Simmo, he's too old to change his ways, he has a lot of bad habits!
