why????

Could someone please explain to me why do they have to bat the ball out of play from the in goal when if you grab the ball and ground it you get the same result surely its a lot safer
 
Because players have not been coached to do so. I think most players have forgotten the rule.
 
It also slows the game down a little of they can't find the ball for the drop out.
 
^ that's true.

Plus I reckon they think it's safer.

"I only have to smack the crap outta it over the in dead ball line and not rely on the 'extra' skill of controlling the ball onto the ground."

If they make a mistake in grounding, the ball is in play. If they mis**** it, the ball may still fly over the line.

That's a possibility.

I have great hands, so I'd just ground it, then roll and flick the ball away so no one could 'find it.'

That's assuming I didn't just run the ball back 100+ metres and score.

😉
 
Here's another WHY...
do so many players hurl the ball away when they score?
It seems to me that RL players are copycats. They see one player do it, and then it becomes mandatory. It happened with the ring-a-ring-a-rosy routine before the players leave the sheds. Someone saw it on TV, now they don't dare not follow the protocol for fear of being accused of "not being a tight group".
