Wrong code, pal.

We're rugby league - we're St Helens - we win matches by scoring tries

Wigan will be lucky to score over 100 points this season with all the tries they are scoring.

He can he just doesnt do it consistantly. IIRC he has kicking winning goals in many many big matches that proves he can actually kick.

P.S your trolling powers are weak. You definatly need to go to the Brutus school for horrible trolls

Back to the Botica debate, my father in law worked in Wigan and used to drive past Central Park every day, twice a day.

Botica was there without fail practicing his goal kicking from 9am-1pm every day of the week.

Its that level of commitment needed to make you an outstanding goal kicker. Its well documented that Longy doesnt really like the goal kicking duties so you are not going to get that level of practice out of him.

He has the ability and has kicked match winning goals in the past, but I dont honestly believe we have anyone reliable enough to take the job off him at the moment, not until Foster breaks into the first team permanently.

Dont worry, when Lyon comes back, usual service will be resumed!

Think he,s about 2 goals short of a thousand goal points. As far as I am concerned he only kicks well when it matters, as the wires well know.
