your kicking nearly cost you the two points,
its going to be hard work to score enough tries to cover the loss of points in conversions, you really do need a quality kicker

As Disco has already pointed out, and his info is pretty good since he was there, the wind was absolutely crazy in Perpignan and that's the reason Dicko (and Bosc at the end) missed the kicks. Nothing to do with pressure or inconsistency, just some really strong swirling winds.

In Llorret it was lovely and sunny and hardly even a breeze. As we crossed the Pennines, i mean Pyrenees, the weather was totally different. In France it was sunny but a very strong wind which was blowing our bus and cars all over the road as we came through the mountain pass. Speaking of wind, our flight home was a bit breezy too thanks to Westy, tha can tell ee's a Cas lad!

I think Dixon has a problem with kicking under pressure. Last week against Salford he was landing them from all over the park, but when we actually need the points (Harlequins, Catalans) he misses the simplest kicks.

As Disco said – to kick any goals in that wind was an ahievement. Second half, playing into the wind, I don't think any of our kick-offs went more than 20m – at least two were blown back to land around the 45m mark

I realise that now.
