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?

why not sort out the four best kickers at the club or maybe more and give them kicking coaching and lots of practice ?

No but i remember Jamie Foster... the 'David Beckham' of RL.

None more so than in 1984 that Australia actually picked the reliable Balmain goal kicker Ross Conlon for the first test v GB due to his goal kicking prowess

Much more recently and also at Saints' would be Jamie Foster

Practice and coaching you say? I’ll get on to Brian and see if he’s heard of these revolutionary ideas.

For me pick the best kicker and stick with him. Up to now, it seems obvious that is Watkins. I don't see the point in switching so far between him and Myler, myler is not even average imo and all it can do is send negative signals to Watkins who was pretty good last year.

Would the concussion/having to pass his head tests ruled Watkins out of even taking part in goalkixking during the week? I saw a picture on Leeds' twitter of Myler and Cam Smith (but not Watkins) goalkicking during the team run on Thursday at Elland Road

I’m fairly certain this already happens.

yes I thought that after I posted

Not good for the hamstrings supposedly. If you've got players with pace you don't want em kicking all week. So I was once told, dunno how true it is.

Nobody would be talking about kicking if Watkins had converted Hall’s try from the touch line. Fickle bunch!

I'm knocking on a bit and remember a cup replay against Leigh 1962 no floodlights then and nights still dark we ran from school .Any way last few minutes Leeds scored in the corner old dressing room end to put them one point behind and the kick from touch to win the game was missed by the great Lewis Jones .
