20-40 rule under consideration

It was an optional restart from the 20m, if I recall correctly.

No, it was an optional restart from the 20. He tried to find touch which would have given Raiders the ball, but kicked it out on the full which was a penalty the same way a kick-off or drop-out on the full is a penalty.

I don't think he drop kicked it but if he did it wouldn't matter. An optional restart can be any kind of kick, same with a kick for touch from a penalty.

I'm pretty sure it was an optional restart but have been wrong before.

Definately an optional restart

Farewell, Brett Finch: Gee, if there was one player who was easy to hate, it was Brett Finch. A chatty, belligerent, cheeky whinger in his early days, it is easy to remember him in tears after he famously tried to kick an optional 20-metre restart out and put it over on the full, allowing the Knights a shot at goal to win the game. The play summed up Finch though. He was always willing to try his hand, back himself.

Isn't part of any good "defence" limiting the kicker's time and options? No point muscling up in defence if you concede a 70m kick.

In reality though it's bloody hard to get a kick away pinned down on your own line.

Yes, that was my point exactly.
