Frano Botica was an excellent goal kicker when he came to wigan, in fact I think he was signed originally because of this. He definitely got even better whilst at Wigan and became almost 100% reliable. We surely do not have to get any one else in to give kicking instruction when we have one of the best on staff in Paul Deacon

Did not realise how bad conditions were until we walked back to the car so I don't think we are in panic mode re goal kicking, just get the ball to Lima and keep scoring under the posts.
By the way Josh superb pick up for that try last night, keep going.

Phil Gould told the story on TV about how Ivan Cleary improved his kicking when he was at the Roosters. Instead of just going out and kicking 35 goals at training. Only kick 20, but you have to kick 20 in a row. Apparently his percentage rocketed up.

Josh used to slot them in from all over the pitch. I remember him kicking at Hudds last year and at Widnes earlier this year he did the same, apart from the last kick from a penalty which could have won us the game. Ever since then, he has been wayward.

Yeah, the Saints may not be a big problem for us in regard of goal kicking, for as long as Rush keeps Foster in the dog-house, (best place for him) Lomax is no better than Charnley, or The Tomahawk in regards bagging the 2s but things could be different when it comes to Warrington and Hodgson, and Leeds and Sinfield. Though it would be nice to think our rich-vein of tries could see us through, this may not be the case in every game, no one can be that good, or that lucky.. Or can we?.

Just look at our rivals Wire.Huddersfield.Catalan,leeds and saints all have 2 or 3 kickers for back up seems our player recruitment have over looked a place kicker for when Pat got injured even in Grand Final in 2010 we missed some sitters in front of the posts but didnt cost us but with 3 hard games coming up it might.
