Kicking is a skill that can be practiced and improved on. We shouldn't get too hung up on that IMO. Thewlis, Williams and drinkwater can all kick.

Hopefully, the kicker for next season won`t be any of those players.

Leon Hayes should be our 1st team scrum half and will be kicking goals.

He'll have Crowther and Harrison putting pressure on him next year. Although Crowther isn't a world beater, he puts 100% effort in each game and doesn't shy away from hard work. I'd rather have that than Currie ambling about and not rolling his sleeves up each week.

Crowther put more effort in the few games he had than Currie for most of the season

I completely agree, Currie seems to thrive when our pack is Dominant and steamrolling ahead, but if the forwards aren't firing he disappears.
Do you reckon we'll bring anyone else in now or does everyone reckon the squad is set now?

Yes, the fans of Currie that say he needs a dominant pack seem to forget that he is part of the pack.

He needs to do the hard graft too.

I don’t think we ever stop looking. But it can’t be an over seas player unless we move someone on and it seem we have already tried to move Kasiano on.

I would say our weakest position is Chief Executive, especially since I've seen that video of him mocking us supporters for not turning up at his "much publicised" Q&A near the Brian Bevan statue.

Hooker now the Dwyer announcement has been made.
