[QUOTE="Every Time Ref, post: 817384, member: 71826"] I wouldn't call it a ***** slap as much as a death-by-a-thousand-cuts approach, part of a philosophy of never leaving the 22 without points. Thing is, depending on conditions and the team's skillset, sometimes it is relatively easy to catch the ball from the drop out and take it back to a strong attacking position, and sometimes those yards are more hard-earned. The Catch-22 is that the harder those yards are earned, the more a drop goal is worth (as your'e less likely to score a try), but the worse the consequences of missing are. [/QUOTE]
