 This difference in emphasis on a relatively trivial phase of play can be seen as indicative of the core differences between the games.In league, the kick is stylised as its purpose is to restart the game and to move to the run and tackle main play as quickly as possible.In union, where "every" phase of play has some element of competition, the trivial need to release the ball at any kick can result in a fumble that may give the opposition a chance to either contest possession or, if "knocked-on", will cause them to be awarded a scrum.
