Luke has been off in last two games with his goal kicking hope he's been practising this week as this Derby is going to be close one

To be fair we've not been giving him easy ones. That makinson fella and his swan dives.

Every try we score is outwide which is a change from last year where most was near the sticks with a 1m barge over.

Just shows we giving the ball more air this year which obviously more entertaining

He'll get a few penalties infront of the sticks this Friday.

It would be interesting to know how many of the kicks he missed have actually hit the post. He alwaysas for the right hand post when kicking and the pull on the ball sends it over, that's said, it show show accurate he is if he actually hits the post!

Maybe he should aim for the middle of the sticks then

First few games he was unbelievable , no matter where we scored. First game at Wire he had several tricky ones but every single one split the posts in 2 - straight down the middle.
Since his calf strain he hasn't looked as accurate, plus penalty kicks to touch seem to be lacking distance, maybe not 100% right yet , noticed he was getting calf rubbed down when they showed our dressing room at half time of Cas game.

Wonder what the record is for hitting the post in a season.

Re: Luke Walsh Goal Kicking : Sun Apr 20, 2014 1:26 pm  

Apart from the one he spooned wide, he has only missed by inches. As a confidence player, his injury may be having an effect on him. Am sure he will come good with our support.
