[QUOTE="Every Time Ref, post: 817349, member: 71826"] An interesting discussion was in danger of breaking out in this week's Prem thread following Joel Hodgson's appalling effort for Sale against Wasps, so thought I'd start a new thread on this. IMO the reason there are so few drop goals is that a) they are bloody difficult and b) the few positions on the pitch you have a reasonable chance of success are also prime position for try attempts. That's not to say I don't think the DG could be used more - George Ford showed against Northampton how useful it can be - but I still think it's going to be massively restricted by the above. I had a quick look on Google for drop goal percentages but no luck, if anyone can find any they'd really add to the discussion. [/QUOTE]
