Problem for Smith he looks nervous atm kicking.
Last week he lifted his head as he kicked one and he had a big fade on it which took it wide. Same spot next conversion he kept his head down and ended up hooking it. He does not look comfortable kicking but its been dropped on him and that's unfortunate. |

Do you think Smith will come good then? If not today's result won't be unusual. It needs sorting out and should have been in the off season. |

Kicking the conversion off the touchline at 2 points down with a few mins left shows it's not nerves that's a problem. He just needs time IMO.

But according to Bilko he slipped when he kicked it. |

Hampshire kicked 120 last season, but is this a season too soon for him?

The "Hampshire Dilemma" seems to arise at every turn..... I really don't know. But, it must be a topic for discussion in management meetings.

Hopefully that last kick from the touch line can give him confidence going forward.

The one he pinged from the touchline shows he's capable. Hell of a drop goal as well.

You are probably right, but we have a hell of a prospect in Hampshire. I just don't think he should be brought in with the kicking responsibility as well, right from the start. Interesting one for management. |

It's early days yet I'd carry on working with him whilst we know Charnley's quite a poor kicker as well. Don't forget he would have needed to get all 6 for us to win

Some players would not bat an eye at having that job given to them regardless of age. The confidence of youth and all that. As you say one for the management but if he was up for it they would be daft to rule it out IMO. That is the kind of mistake I'd expect from Noble. |

He did kick 120 but that was from 179 attempts giving him about a 66% success rate and his degree of success varied quite widely (just as it has for Charnley who would most likely take over from Smith if/when someone does). I don't want to knock a young player who will still be developing physically but that at the moment is not the sort of success rate that screams "make me the first team goal kicker" even if Hampshire was deemed up to the rigours of a whole season in the first team. While that is a better rate of success than we have had from Smith so far it is probably not so great a level of improvement as to warrant overexposing Hampshire to first team games, along with adding the pressure of goal kicking on top. Particularly when we already have another first team regular who could take over or share goal kicking responsibility with Smith in the shape of Charnley.
With both Harris and Deacon in the coaching setup you would hope that we can either get one of Smith or Charnley to significantly improve their accuracy or we could at least be able to work out the strengths and weaknesses of both to allow them to share the duties a la Gill and Stephenson as somebody suggested the other day.
