How far can a good kicker kick a ball in general play?

On the full I am talking here.

If they can kick the ball 60metres and passed the goal area . Kick the ball dead maybe give them one point as a reward.

then you will see people kicking for the 1 point when they are backed up behind their 40m. It would just ruin the "field position" game.

I'm pretty sure you'll find "yawn" is a troll.
Wouldn't listen to much he / she has to say.

I think Pearce would be up there.



Btw Yawn maybe we can make that 1 point only if within a designated 5 mtr area of the dead ball line??? :sarcasm::roll:

I think that ball Hazem was kicking had air and helium in it. It still looked heavy like a proper ball but it floated with momentum.

Tim Moltzen has the biggest boot in the league

We'll see this weekend I guess but I'm pretty sure you should maybe interchange 'League' with 'Tigers' not that it's too difficult with Myth Marshall and John 'Cronk' Morris as their main kickers. Farah would probably even have a longer 'in game' kick on him than Moltzen.

Yeah I'm calling shenanigans on the Hazem-Helium 'experiment'. Clearly the lighter weight would not help to overcome the wind resistance which you need mass for.

The footage was clearly fake, some of the kicks actually gained speed as the ball progressed.

I can't believe anyone thought it was legitimate footage, they did everything in their power to make it look fake.

Balls can't "float" with helium, their mass is still way heavier than air, at best a ball filled with helium will weigh 10% less, and anything that has less weight, but all other things being equal, actually slows down quicker than something that is heavier provided they are hit with the same force. Try throwing a stone about the same size and shape as a cotton ball, see which one goes further.

See, the smart ones follow St George, and the gullible... don't.
