Quote: Quickening "I cannot think of a single good kick he did in the whole game, that one I mentioned was an example of a school boy error.
Doing aimless "bombs" which don't go very high or move much, or kicking into touch around the 20 metre line are not good kicks.
We should have been trapping Saints behind their line, on there line or doing quality chips to the corner with how we dominated field position at times.
Watch the nrl final on Sunday, and they will show how execute kicks that hurt the opponent, not just give them the ball back.'"
Have you stopped to consider that the high kicks were a tactic devised by Tony Smith and executed by Gidley and Patton? I reckon Gidley made only one really poor kick ( straight to Lomax - and even then the Wire line speed snuffed out any danger ) and several others did the job of pinning Saints back deep in their own half. How you can slag off Gidley when he has been excellent all season is beyond me. Perhaps you didn't notice that he made the Dream Team?
