How come we very rarely use a high kick to King?

I seen the highlights of Manly against Quins t'other day, and this is something I've noticed with the other Aussie halves (Cronk, Thurston etc.), their kicking to the corners is fantastic, the variation they have is fantastic, sometimes it's a low hanging kick which can be plucked out of the air at speed (like Robertson's 1st try), and sometimes it's a hanging bomb (like what King would often win for the Storm). I never see us doing this on either side, our short kicking game lacks so much imagination it's untrue, is it the coach? The players or both?

For me I would always take an easy 2 points and get the ball back.

If you go for it and get it you're a hero.

Damnned if you do and damnned if you don't.

We should have twisted the knife & gone for 6. Having said that, we got the 2, got the ball back & were unlucky with a Briers 40/20. If that would have gone our way, then as you say, he would be a hero on here.
