Get Hampshire kicking, he converted a lot at the Leeds u19 grand final and going off what I've heard he was doing this all season in the under 19s.

We took Richards for granted in the kicking department, you were classing every try as 6 points before he'd even set up for the kick.

If natty carries on missing it's gonna cost us big at some point, yeh only 3 games in but we with a good kicker we would have took the points home yesterday and not lost in the last 30 seconds by 5 points.

matty smith is more than capable, just needs to learn composure you could tell he was going to miss the kicks he did as it looked like he was over thinking it.

I can tell you it didn't do anything to improve my humour watching Pat hoof over kicks from every bloody conceivable angle at the week end (to add to two smartly taken tries and a 70 yard drop out)!!!

that drop out was something else its good to see that a 32 year old who spent majority in super league can still "cut it in the NRL". But yeah i would rather see him in a wigan shirt every weekend as well. super player who is a Wigan legend, good to see him spreading the joining jack over there as well.

Don't forget though that Frano himself felt his goal kicking was a way into the side because he would not get a game otherwise. He did of course become a very good No 6 in his own right but at first was stuck out on the wing while he learned the game.

So in a way Frano is a good example of including a player in the side just for his goal kicking who isn't that good a player to start with.

Goal kicking was important enough for Monie to do that despite reservations about signing him in the first place (he wanted Phil Blake instead) and it remains as important IMO.
