Quote: JTR "I don't think it's time to pull the plug on Bridge yet (unless Briers is capable on Monday). People seem to be happy with Richards, but Bridge had a higher success rate for the first 7 rounds, just seems to have lost a bit of form the past few weeks.
As I said in another topic, he doesn't kick often because he is nothing more than a capable back up kicker. Re the England game, he kicked 9/12, of which the vast majority were under the sticks.'"
As Ive posted elsewhere
Tickle - 25/28 = 89% (missed 3)
Eastmond - 35/44 = 80% (missed 9)
Richards - 38/53 = 72% (missed 15)
Bridge - 19/28 = 68% (missed 9)
Bridge not in the same class as Tickle or Eastmond. In my view we need a high percentage kicker with success rates 80%+.
