I don't know whether you saw the Cas game the previous week but Gidley was struggling to kick then ,so maybe he is injured. If so i am surprised Ratchford wasn't asked to kick at Wembley

It doesn't seem to be a priority at the Wire. We could do with spending some money on a dependable kicker from RU.

Why RU? This isn't American football. You can't just bring players in to kick. It would take several seasons to get to grips with the switch of codes. There are plenty of young RL players who can kick, half of them never get a chance though because clubs would rather an instant fix and bring an Aussie in instead of developing a new star.

Well maybe a bit of kicking practice for our own prodigies would do nicely followed by elevation to the first team then .

Dec Patton has a very good strike ratio. One of our own 'eh?

I seem to remember, a couple of years ago, we let a very good goalkicker go over the Pennines, Ryan Shaw.

And ,maybe with a bit more practice & faith from his manager, Gaz O'Brien could have been a top kicker.
