Top ten things Rugby owes to league

[ANTiLAG]

Sorry Mr it was all the tees, grounds and synthetic balls. Are you are not claiming to be an expert? Then, how am I claiming to be an expert for saying it was more round the corner greater accuracy coupled with increased and better coaching of the more difficult technique.

I have looked at the stats post synthetic - they are nowhere near the numbers recorded today. That would leave you with tees (most of which used are Daryl Halligan's patent) and grounds. I'm still going with round the corner greater accuracy coupled with increased and better coaching of the more difficult technique.

Now, answer the questions or you still a coward? (I can remove the 'apparent' because last time you agreed to being a coward .

Sorry Mr it was all the tees, grounds and synthetic balls.

So why are you arguing that it isn't?

Are you are not claiming to be an expert?

I never claimed to be an expert on goalkicking.

Feel free to prove me wrong.

Would you like me to prove that you think you're an expert on goalkicking?

Then, how am I claiming to be an expert for saying it was more round the corner greater accuracy coupled with increased and better coaching of the more difficult technique.

Because the way you attempted to prove your "theory" was flawed because you deliberately misued the stats available. It was pointed out to you numerous times, you're just simply too arrogant to accept that you may have put forward a flawed argument.

And you most certainly did.

I have looked at the stats post synthetic - they are nowhere near the numbers recorded today.

No one's arguing that.

That would leave you with tees (most of which used are Daryl Halligan's patent) and grounds.

Derr.

I'm still going with round the corner greater accuracy coupled with increased and better coaching of the more difficult technique.

You go for your life mate.

Now, answer the questions or you still a coward? (I can remove the 'apparent' because last time you agreed to being a coward .

errr, no. I laughed at the fact that a pretentious pissant on a forum would think I would be offended by being called a coward. Then I hung sh*t on you for no reason other than "Because I can".

But you saw that as acceptance?

Choice bro... lol

 

[ANTiLAG]

No - I saw the fact that when I said its the truth that you are a coward you responded with you "already knew that".

But I would like you to answer my questions when you've summoned the courage.

 

[Loudstrat]

Explain the difference between how the foot contacts the ball differently in a place kick compared to a non placed kick if both are kicked with the same part of the foot?

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

Your mind does some strange things.

Are you really a brief?

I reckon if a client of yours was up on a littering charge (yes, a step-up for you) and they had a water-tight alibi, forty two judges as witnesses that they weren't at the scene of the crime and video of them in another country at the time the offence occured, you'd get them life without parole.

But I would like you to answer my questions when you've summoned the courage.

What you'd like? lol

I'd like Drew Barrymore to sit on my face and pedal my ears and there is more chance of that happening than me re-answering your questions.

 

[Loudstrat]

And I'm wondering if there is no difference between the synthetic balls and leather balls, and given there is more leather manufactured than ever before - why do we use synthetic balls?

Another for a rapidly growing list...

No need to re-answer, just an answer will suffice.

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

You should macro your stuff.

 

[ANTiLAG]

And I'm wondering if there is no difference between the synthetic balls and leather balls,

There is a difference between the two. One is made from natural and organic substance that is the hide of an animal. The other is made from a composite material that is man made - generally a polycarbon derivative.

and given there is more leather manufactured than ever before - why do we use synthetic balls?

Synthetic balls were introduced in Union in the 1980's as they do not retain water in the stitches in the seams thus are relatively slightly lighter when conditions are wet as they retain slightly less water in the wet, but more importantly do not get as 'greasy'. Yes, this is beneficial to all aspects of the game - perhaps even goal kicking to a slight extent. Certainly better for handling as was its intended purpose. But those who followed Union certainly did not notice any significant increase in goal kicking accuracy resulting from the change over. The Union converts could boot a leather or a synthetic with similar ease in similar conditions. The first decade of synthetic balls coincided with the round the corner shift (or after it according to you and EA) and potentially led to minor mprovements in goal kicking accuracy. The next decade has led to a greater increase in goal kicking accuracy. Riddle me that? Coaching to union standards of goal kicking perhaps?

The only non place kick bearing any similarity to a place kick is a field goal. A point you may have tried to deny earlier in this thread with regards round the corner kicking from halfway and my example of Benji. So Ricky's dozen odd field goal attempts 20 metres or less out and directly in front makes his comments on field kicking relevant to goal kicking? I don't think so - nor think Ricky intended it too.

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

I dunno, does this seem surreal to anyone else?

 

[ANTiLAG]

You answering my questions would be surreal.

Funny, I thought contact was made between the same part of the foot striking the same part of the ball in the same manner. How do you kick it you knob? With your f*cking elbow????????

Yes we know that Einstein.............

.So there is a change in the way the ball behaves - just as Sticky stated. Thank you for finally admitting the f*cking obvious.

Couldn't be that Union goal kickers are sh*t? Or maybe no one is interested to ask a main kicker about any differences and print the answers?

 

[ANTiLAG]

Hah - now I've heard everything. More likely that because they were already so skilful kicking a leather ball that a synthetic ball made no significant difference. Not that the sh*te league goal kickers noticed any real difference with the synthetic.

 

[ANTiLAG]

Presumably Ricky was talking about the drop punt and spiral kick - which are kicked with totally different parts of your foot to the drop kick and round the corner place kick are.

Have you ever kicked a ball Loudstrat? Because these posts are seriously making me wonder. Ricky was not talking about drop goals, toe pokes or round the corner place kicks. So you'll have to offer something a little more convincing than Ricky's statement about field kicks.

 

[Loudstrat]

PRESUMABLY???? :lol:

You poor pathetic putz. So Synthetic balls changed Ricky Stuart's foot???? What did he grow an extra toe and join your family???

What part of your rain is missing the ability to understand that THE BALLS CHANGED???

Hah - now I've heard everything. More likely that because they were already so skilful kicking a leather ball that a synthetic ball made no significant difference. Not that the sh*te league goal kickers noticed any real difference with the synthetic.

Union troll. Proof that you have your head up a sheeps arse dreaming about Zinzan Brook and how he would have scored 19 field goals against the 63 Dragons and made Raper look like Paul Cariage.

If Union kickers were so good it's funny how the legendary goal kickers - Barnes, Cronin, Simms, Brown, Messenger and El Masri - are Leagueies.

All you are proving to the world is that you are a few sperm short of a blow job. If you cannot understand that synthetic balls act differently different to leather ones, I'm sure your mother is still teaching you how to wipe your arse properly.

One thing you never mentioned about your cumstain soaked legal degree - did you pull it from a weetbix packet or a cornflakes box?

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

You answering my questions would be surreal.

It just never dawns on you that you could be wrong, or mental, does it?

So this has dawned on you?
