NSW were down by 8 midway through the second half and they went for the penalty goal instead of attacking in the red zone.
I have never understood why teams do this tactic when 8 down. A team has to score a try anyway in that situation and that score would be just to draw level and hope you kick the goal to draw level. In that situation, you also have to hope like hell that you don't give a penalty away for the opposition to go 8 in front again.
Anybody else disagree with the tactic?
