Possibly that's why Mortimer has been brought in.For me Drinky has to take on the kicking responsibilities now.Or we won't have a kicker on the park.

[color=#BF0000]Exactly. It's a good tactic, running at the halves - perhaps we ought to try it? :wink: It also has the double value of tiring the opposition playmakers.[/color]

We can't drop Drinkwater really, as we then wouldn't have a playmaker at all. I still think we missed a trick with Ridyard this season - in my opinion we should have persevered with him. We still haven't got a good, reliable kicker from hand. How many times do our opponents start their set of six from their 20 metre line, instead of from their own try line? Also, how many times do we gain more than ten metres from penalty kicks? Paul Cooke used to be one of the best kickers in RL - it's a shame that his expertise doesn't seem to be rubbing off on our players, in the kicking department.


Don't think they had any halves left on the field to run at after 20mins which makes the result all the more frustrating

Walsh remained on the pitch. Now his kicking game was pretty decent.

We've scored plenty points this season - our problem is too many weak tacklers (you know who they are!)
Agree Reynolds put in superb effort at Catalans but still weak defence.


To be fair, for a half Reynolds is quite strong defensively IMO - as has been pointed out on other threads the lapses are more to do with centre/second row

Completely agree with this we need too learn to shut a game down when we have a healthy lead.

Patterson had trials in NFL as a punt kicker - reputed range 65 yards - he should be capable of putting any free kick in opposing 25.

Also you would be hard pressed to tell who the captain is.
