Yes I remember Leeds getting into it. It didn't really work for them. New laws though will change it.

Why will the new laws change it, it used to be a penalty and kick to touch or tap on the 10m and now it's just a PTB on the 10m line, what has changed to make teams suddenly think they should now go for short drop out's or am I missing something so obvious that I can't see for looking?

If you kicked it out on the full or didn't kick it 10m you gave away 2pts from a kick under the posts. With the new laws the opposition just get possession. It isn't a Penalty offence anymore.
FROM NRL "Traditionally, teams have attempted to kick the ball as far as possible off a set restart, but a new ruled in introduced in 2024 — meaning short drop-outs and kick-offs are no longer penalised if they don't go the required 10-metre distance or go out on the full — has taken the tactic to a new level

Thanks Smiffy, I thought it was classed as a 'differential' penalty or whatever it was called i.e. a kick for touch or tap restart and not a opportunity to kick for goal, my mistake as I really can't remember the last time I saw a short drop out get penalised or anyone kick for goal from it, thanks.
