Surely this is a good point. Year after year Wigan's wingers are at the top of the try tables. Burgess and Manfredi this year, Josh over the last 3 or 4 seasons, Pat before him, even Karl Pryce had an exceptional try scoring record.

Matty's 70% record means he is kicking 7 out of 10. How many of those ten are from out wide?

I know this is Union, but still a good analysis & mechanism for ranking kickers. Someone with time on their hands could do worse than apply the same methodology to Leaguehttps://thepowerofgoals.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/rating-rugby-union-kickers-by-kick.htmlrl
