Pushbacks on B737's

As an old 737 line supervisor of the 1970's, on a recent holiday to NZ and Aus, I noticed at Melbourne , that the same aircraft type were being pushed back with the tug attached to the starboard U/C leg .
I can see the logic (broken steering pins etc ) but how does it work, I take it, the pilot now has control and also it also takes up less time disconnecting
