Suspect Field will be given a go with his return imminent.

Stick with Smith, he’ll come good.

The Roosters had a prop who kicked goals a couple of seasons ago, can't remember who it was, thought it might have been Tetevano I was thinking of, who's now at Leeds, but it's not him.

It was Taukeiaho (not a clue if that spelling is right), who is now at Catalans.

Smith is a good goal kicker we’ve seen him been faultless in the past . He will come good on a more regular basis.

That's kind of my point.

We need props and potentially a SR. Let's not get too concerned with signing someone just because they can kick goals.

I worry about us more when we’re attacking on the opposition line, than I do attacking from our own half and part of that is because we lack a player who can pull the trigger accurately on a pass but also because we lack punch in the forwards or the type of player that is just difficult to stop close to the line. If you have those, your kicks do start becoming easier. Saints get regular try contributions from big, powerful forwards like Walmsley and Sironen but we lack that. It’s something I’m hoping Walters and whoever else comes in can solve and in turn it can improve the kicking percentages.

Good call, when was the last time one of our forwards broke a tackle and scored with a few players on their back?

Havard IIRC, it was a while back like.

We need to find a Lee Crooks from somewhere............

Ha, that's right! I thought it began with T!

Which is what I was saying as well - if you look at the best goal kickers around at the moment most are not positions we need or players we would really be interested in, if we could sign someone who is in a positon we nned to strengthen and happened to be a good goal kicker as well that would be a huge bonus. Perhaps we need to bring in someone who was a top goal kicker on a short term coaching contract to work with anyone in the squad to improve them.

We had Charlie Hodgson a few years ago and it worked wonders with Sam.

Wonder if Deacs fancies a summer job.

We just don’t do it. Mago kills me in that regard. He had chances at HKR the other night to just smash his way over players but he doesn’t do it. We have one forward who scores try’s and that is Faz, but even he doesn’t score what I’d call ‘forwards try’s’. His try’s are from his brilliant line running and support play from deep. We need a forward or two that will just smash his way over the line. I look at Dupree and Walters and they could be those guys.

Byrne is one that frustrates me in that regard, he runs in really hard often from a deeper position but seems to get stopped quite quickly which for someone his size seems a bit odd, Ellis made more ground in contact in the last game which was good to see and hopefully he can continue doing that. Mago too often seems to get the ball standing still rather than bursting onto the ball, he can make reasonable ground but too slowly.
