I certainly agree about a coach for kicking (not goalkicks - who can teach lino anything more?) but particularly penalty kicks to touch; I know lots of factors can dictate how far the ball goes, and weather has to be considered, but really our touch kicks could make many more valuable yards than we gain at present. Miller does his best and I suppose kicks with caution, but we could milk (pardon the pun ) a few more yards I reckon.

When I played union, we had a kicking coach come down to the club.
Clearly I wasn't a kicker so was just watching.
He put a good 10-15 metres on the distance of my friends kicking just on a 30 minutes technique session. And he was already a good kicker.
But short kicking game can improve too.

It's no difference to a golf professional coaching you. Very similar skills.

I think you can be over coached for a game but I don’t think you can over coach a skill, may be wrong.

Lino’s kicking is brilliant at the present but it can’t hurt to have someone keeping him sharp. Ditto other skills.

Think it’s a great idea.

... and the coaching of other players for when Lino is not available.

If you prefer Max to Rocky or visa versa that's okay it's your opinion, but why trade one off against the other to prove a point, they are both invaluable to the club and whichever is your preference surely you don't have to disrespect one of them to endorse your point, or don't you think there is room at the club for both of them?.

There is room yes my point wasnt me trying to prove im right your wrong kind of thing im teying to explain why i see ryan as the better at the moment as hes the one playing presentley in the team and playing well...that said unlike alot im not a jowitt fan either not rhat i disllike him or owt just dont believe he is as good as some make but every one entiltled to there opinion

Yesterday Milky's were good.
Got at least 20m with every kick.
in comparison to the Shudds kicking which was dire.

Yeah that's good, I'm not knocking the bloke, it's not an easy task but in some of the games I felt we could do better.

See Hewitt, Hudds, has got a 1 match ban for leading with the forearm.
