Most sides kick deep and try to be sure of who will be bringing the ball out and although we spectacularly failed to deal with this against Warrington for their try straight after ht, this is the norm for most sides, unless its a tight game and then you can expect to see a short kick.
Variation sounds great but, if any side goes for a short kick off or puts one along the ground, the risk is that the opposition start their first set a lot closer to the half way line and there would be even more complaints on here were that to happen.
Our kick offs have got rock all to do with our results and fans only moan about it when we've failed to come up with a miracle play from the kick off.
Either make it a contest or, kick as deep as you can, there isn't too much else that can be done.
Would it make any difference if we kicked left, right or, straight, I dont think so

Nothing to do with results but everything to do with overall mentality.
