If I have any issue it's about the poor return from drop goals rather than that of place kicking.

There will be a time when goal kicking and or drop goal kicking will be of vital importance. We don't have anyone who's good at either.

Of course there will be. Already we have discussed a CC final and QF lost in the last 3 seasons on goal kicking.

What don't I believe now? I just listed figures FFS to continue the debate and show how we don't have a settled kicking position.

The only argument for chopping and changing the kicker is that the coach is not satisfied with the current incumbent or protecting injury.

You really have a problem with debate don't you?

Therefore, it needs to be addressed. "Sybil Fawlty, specialist subject stating the bleeding obvious".

Edited for accuracy

We've been here before, boys.
We're not going to sign anyone else, so we go with what we've got.
I just hope to God that Price has selected one, and have him practice, practice, practice. I don't like my team losing any games (whether it's a round 2 game, or round 25 game), when we've a "can do" kicker, taking them.

Hicks, Westwood etc were taking kicks when we were under Smith, BUT, we were "blowing teams off the park", so kicks weren't THAT much of an issue. We now have a side which SHOWS potential, but doesn't "blow teams off the park".

Hesford, Woods, Hodgson, Davies. 4 legendary kickers. No surprise we were winning/sniffing trophies when these were taking shots at goal.

Next year, we've got Widdop. He CAN kick.
Fingers crossed, for this season.

Wins Off says it all for me.
If we ain't scoring trys it matters little how good the gk is. I'd be out to find a kicker who gets you around the pitch first.

This - nominate one and a deputy to cover for injuries, have confidence with them when it's not going right and stick with them.

I concur
Practice for kickers is essential.

For those who think kicking is just an added bonus. Take a look at the 3 point code (I call it that for a reason). Their kickers (at every club) are deadly.
Did Dusty Hare, Rob Andrew, Johnny Wilkinson just hope they could successfully convert. NO. They practiced for hours on end.
I hope we're doing the same

A case of having too in that game.

As it is, in ours.
A kick is 50% value of a try. Why not try your utmost, to improve your score. Leave no stone unturned, etc.

Exactly. We need a consistant kicker who is given the responsibility at the moment it's who ever fancies a kick. Josh Charney would be my choice was good at Wigan and will be playing most games..

If we're not scoring many trys we need to make the most out of them when we do. I've lost count of the games we've list by 2-6 points but if we're made the conversions would have won or drew.

Let's state the obvious.
Kicking goals is important.
Also ... drop goals are important (and now even more so).
I am certain that considerable thought and practice is taking place.

Running the ball in towards the sticks when opportunity arises is far more important imo.
No matter how big the stats are of a kicker from another club is...if he comes to Warrington and we keep scoring in the corners every try...we'll be having the same conversation again very quickly.
