Agree, but it didn't stop Wgin from signing Frano Botica and he kicked a few. In fact, over the years there have been a few players of questionable ability holding down a first team spot on account of their goalkicking. Anyone remember Sean Day at Saints?

It’s a big problem across many clubs in RL this. Quality tee kickers are dwindling

Trent Hodkinson was available but for whatever reason we didn't make a move.

There are a few about, but Gary's chequebook remains covered in dust.

Watkins kicked well today, and to be fair to him, he's had a superb start to the season overall, and the responsibility of the captaincy, and a great world cup has taken his game to the next level.

Agree about his overall performance. The captaincy is really bringing out more in him and that we've had a few fight back performances already this season speaks volumes about the group and he's obviously leading the group.

As for his goal kicking, I said previously it looked like he possibly hadn't been practising much since last season ended and wasn't doing it when with England and being one of the last back to preseason. Hopefully today's a sign he just needed time to get back the momentum he had towards the end of 2017 with the boot.

Interesting comment from Mac in the press conference, he basically said I don’t care about Kallums form jyst about how he is mentally. I think the captain job was just what he needed to help with his recent issues, he looks a class above this season
