As bad as he is with his boot it's slightly two faced that the groans aren't heard when Sam does the exact same

We NEED Deacs back next week though!

I think the fact that Leuluai kicked the ball right down the FB's throat four times in succession got the fans' back up as opposed to Tomkins' one off poor effort.

Precisely. That's why next season he's being moved to hooker - scored a belting try from dummy half tonight, didn't he?

Sam has at least a 50-50 record with kicking into space and missing a man tho, Tommy seems to hit a man every single time without fail, its like a fecking homing device

Yeah it was a cracker, did well to get that down (if he actually did get it down )

got agree, TL has been playing at 6/7 for Wigan for several years and his kicking game is woeful. I thought the point of Deacon was to help TL and ST with their kicking game.

Hate to say it but TL has never impressed me in a Wigan shirt bar the odd game here or there. Hooker is his best position and even then give me a Riddel everytime.

The major negative point from your destruction of HKR tonight was the very poor kicking game. This will need to improve plenty to have a chance of winning the comp.

Big transfer fee for Dobson, that would sort it as Leulaui is bobbins at long kicking, he kicked it down Briscoes throat at least 4 times tonight. You can't do that if you want to win the grand final.

Leuluai is world class from 10m away from the tryline. Anywhere else he is rubbish.

What annoyed me was he even did crap kicks on the 4th tackle that unacceptable

I don't think he has a position, he has the odd good game whichever position he plays. However he never plays consistently well in any position he plays. Can't fault his effort at all, his defence is good, he just doesn't direct and create like a scrum half / hooker needs to do.

I just hope he fines his feet as a 9, which I believe he can. Because of his size and lack of pace or understanding as a 7 you can't really play him anywhere else.

He can't organise or kick as a 7. Too slow to play anywhere else in the backs. Too small to play in the forwards.

I'd swap him for Dobson any day of the week as a 7.

Agreed.

Not good enough from an international player.

Correct. Kicking is a very important part of any Scrum Halves game wheather they play for Wigan or Shevington Sharks.
