Quote: Jake the Peg "Be interesting to see if horne is more effective with some decent coaching. Looking back at old dvd's, his kicking was much better around 2005/6. I also think our kickers have suffered due to poor ball from acting half since swain retired'"
Spot on. We watched our CC run from 2005 over Christmas and it comes as a surprise just how good his kicking was back then compared to recent seasons. As well as missing Swain I think that the pressure of being the only kicking option may have got to him. Back then he had Cooke and Brough to share the load and keep the opposition guessing.
