Quote Wildmoose="Wildmoose"I'm more than a tiny bit nervous. As it stands now Hall's our only real option. What happens if / when he's injured? Kicks frequently decide the outcome of games. PNG would be going into the last 8 instead of France if they had a goalkicker. Really hope there's something in this [uMantellato thing[/u.
Quite happy with the rest. We won't be getting bullied up front very often.'"
A few Rovers fans are saying Cockayne is a done deal and due to be announced next week on the Wakefield board. I don't think theres much chance of Mantellato, if that's right.
I'd certainly have liked another experienced goal kicker. Burns had a decent success rate in the NRL, but from a very low number of attempts. He's put over 45 in his career - somewhere in the region of half-season's worth, roughly. Paniu can kick, too but I don't think too many think he'll be in the 17 initially. Welham's booted over a few, I think.
Maybe a chance for somebody to add another string to their bow?
