its a good job he excells in all other areas.

It's just absolutely abysmal. How are we 15 games into the season without anyone realising they can actually kick the bleeding ball LOW. At least make it touch the grass first. I wouldn't mind the putting it under the FB if we actually challenged for it but kicking up softly on half way is not that. Kick low and through it, WHY has this not been implemented at this point idk.

At Wigan his short kicking game always seemed to be very good, they got lots of tries and repeat sets from his grubbers. Definitely not working here though.

It’s just SO bad it’s almost funny. His very short kicking game near the line was always very good at Wigan. Can’t remember him doing any other type of kicking at Wigan though, please let that be the case at wire. He’s dreadful at kicking on the last. Terrible.

This should be a completely blank thread

Agreed he doesn't have a tactical kicking game at all. He's useful in the opposition 20 but last tackle tactical kicks are awful.

I see it more as a shortcoming of Powell than Williams, quite frankly the kicking game should be allocated to someone more capable, let Williams concentrate on what he is more suited to. He's still a quality player but kicking isn't his strength.

Yep, it was all Matty Smith then Leaulai/Tomkins doing the long kicking.

As you point out his short kicking game is normally a strength. His long kicking game is not.
