We only need one goal kicker, far better to have 1 that can really kick than 5 who aren't too bad. I would imagine long term Percival will be the kicker but short term you can understand Brown looking at his options.

| Makinson is very very erratic. Kicks from the touch line then slices them when they are much closer to the posts. Lomax is about Long's level of goalkicking I'd say.

I think having our best kicker as our lead kicker is a good idea but I don't think any team can have too many goal kickers. Say Gaskell is our best kicker. He should get first dibs at the kicking in a match and then unless goal kicks become absolutely crucial to the outcome, he should be interchanged as kicker with any of our other kickers so that Gaskell remains fresh and others get game time kicking practice in. All it would take in those circumstances would be for Gaskell to be injured and unless our other kickers were up to speed we could find ourselves struggling for points.

Long used to be a good kicker, he just got worse with age

I only saw Long kick in his 'old age'! Had to cover my eyes when he took an important kick, even from bang in front!

I think most of the time he kicked OK when it really mattered, bet the bulls and wire fans still have long nightmares.
