Like shooing fish in a barrel.

Hodgson is useless, we could have had Danny Tickle and when Sinfield sorts his house out (very slow market in Leeds) we'll be fine.

There is a serious point to this. Sort of. There were many claims that we needed a consistent goalkicker last year - I think the only game we lost because of goalkicking was St Helens at home. Leeds away possibly. The year before, Wakey at home was the example often quoted. Well, barely half a season this year and you can see how easy it is to blame it on goalkicking (or Williams failing to chase back when Hull make a clean break, or Mathers' pass in the play off last year).

Current kicking percentages of main kickers:

0.840 Pat Richards (Wigan)
0.840 Jamie Foster (St Helens)
0.833 Michael Dobson (Hull KR)
0.813 Brett Hodgson (Warrington)
0.807 Danny Brough (Wakefield)
0.790 Luke Gale (Harlequins)
0.788 Patrick Ah Van (Bradford)
0.776 Danny Tickle (Hull)
0.775 Scott Dureau (Catalans)
0.772 Kevin Sinfield (Leeds)
0.759 Kirk Dixon (Castleford)
0.746 Clinton Schifcofske (Crusaders)
0.690 Josh Griffin (Wakefield)
0.667 Daniel Holdsworth (Salford)

You can't look at those figues in isolation though. Bretts percentage of successful kicks is even better when you consider how many tries we score.

Ha ha love it! Sinker, line and hook come to mind....

On another note, it doesn't take in to account the position of kicks, out wide/under the sticks

As percentages, I'm afraid these are all disastrous.

2/10. Must try harder.

Not great are they

Good to see our Baby Becks is top of the very small tree however.

Yep 84 out of every 10000 for Foster, and 81 for Brett

Hodgson = awesome kicker

Sorry I meant to say decimals. I'm used to seeing percentages and automatically converting them into decimals, eg 6% growth rate = 0.06 etc.

Quote ="The All New Chester Wire"Hull KR at home we might have lost given the kicks Hodgson missed (missed 3 out of 5). Catalans at home we equalled them in tries, but Hodgson missed 2 kicks. Yesterday he missed the first; otherwise we'd have got a point. Three points on our total and we'd be well clear now.'" superleague.co.uk/statistics_pla ... =2011&hp2= Course we do pal

you must be joking, hodgson is best kicker in sl

Jebus TANCW you'll need a trawler to land all these.

I Know we seen how you all celebrated his last one at Bradford..

After being off the forum for a month or so, this is probably one of the best "wooooshes" iv ever witnessed!!

I bet nobody has had any many successful attempts from within a 10m range of the touchline than BH. Of his 83 in 100, I bet 65 are out way out wide.

Rest of the team saved his blushes this week.

To be fair to Brett, all but one of the tries we scored were on or close to the wings.
Mat Kings hat-trick were all right out on the wing.
Only Richie Myler's was under the sticks.
