It's not about that for me. We had just come out of that intense opening stand. We would have been far better off with a boot down field and a breather to regain some composure and get into good ball. Pretty sure that set we ended up kicking from 30-40 out.
That's fine, I can certainly understand that viewpoint.
We gave up I've just figured out probably 15m and still ended up with an attacking opportunity.
Can't say for sure but I think Fitz would back Hynes to press the advantage there - balls in our hands don't give
them a breather.
Botched attacking opportunity and they got 10m play the ball, then Graham gave away penalty then they kicked for distance* (also, we'd already had breather now while potential try got reviewed so that element is lessened) and then Drinky scored (off a forward pass) beating McInnes and Rudolf. So arguably it contributed to us being worse off, but still, I think there was merit in going for it.
*from centre filed they got just 20m from kick! So 5m more than we got from Nicho's run, although I'd back Trindall to give it a little more than Chad. Nicho chasing an opportunity he saw may have only cost us like 10m. Would call that low risk, high reward.
