We've needed a top kicker for a number of years. We also don't make a lot of ground with penalty kicks to touch. Both of those skills union kickers are decent at. Maybe we should look there for the answer.
Thought Ref was pretty decent too, which should please NB.
Now the logo is in the right place, the away shirt is top notch. Far more vibrant & interesting than black.
Good effort by the boys and we created and converted a few chances and made a few more metres this game. Clearly Hull not at same level as Saints or Catalans so was interesting to see we did better. Dread the Wigan game a bit.
We’re clearly light a few SL standard players and that needs addressing.
As others have said all the best sides including in the Championship have a decent kicker- I don’t think Leyland is consistent enough although to be clear if he wasn’t the best we have he wouldn’t be chosen. If we had not had Norman as kicker in the MPG would we have won? I think the answer is no. It’s that important we can’t keep ducking it. On the plus side we aren’t in Coates or Mocadreki territory and Leyland always looks to improve so...It is though a clear weakness that we need to address in next years recruitment drive. I think Rourke was identified as a decent kicker but of course he’s out for a few months.
