This is probably going to sound strange after the million pound game but I don't think O'Brien's kicking is consistent enough. I think we could have won more games this season with a better kicker

Not strange at all, if he hadn't of nailed the drop goal in the mpg we could've lost it due to missed conversions.

As you say he isn't consistent enough, Carney is a goal kicker but where do you put him with Lui playing so well?

At different times, I noticed both Lui and Dobson limping during the Wakey game: they seemed to get over it but worrying symptoms. So Carney may be needed sooner than later.

It's taken to today to get Rugby Leguer etc:

Gaz O'Brien is 3rd in goal scoring.

Re: Kicking : Wed Mar 15, 2017 9:06 pm  

Percentage wise he's 7th;

G:MG
Syned 21:0 100%
Walsh 14:2 88%
Sutcliffe 12:3 80%
Gale 25:7 78%
Williams 10:4 71%
Reynolds 10:4 71%
Obrien 17:8 68%
Hanbury 8:4 67%
Escare 14:8 63%
Percival 6:5 54%
Brough 6:9 40%

As we know stats don't always paint a true reflection, a lot of GOB's could've been from the touch line on his weakest side, if such things were too be taken into consideration?

A top kicker can win you games.Long range,short range and sides don't bather them
