64 in 40 games doesn't sound like an awful lot, so I presume he was the stand-in for the regular kicker when injured so they came in a small number of games, which suggests he's handy. Being handed the tee when Ponga was injured isn't a bad reference, if that's how they came about.

He defiantly has being behind pongia who has one of the highest kicking averages in the league (no Shame at all in that)

Linos strike rate last season was exceptional though

To give you an idea
Clearly has the best with 85.3%

So the higher end of the ratio is in the 80s
The lower is in the 60s

Newcastle Knights
Kalyn Ponga: 75/97, 77.3%
Mason Lino: 49/60, 81.7%
Mitch Barnett: 3/3, 100%


Lino actually has the the 3rd best average in the nrl behind Nathan Cleary and Sam Williams (not including Barnett who is a back up back up kicker)

I imagine Lino will be our goal kicker

I have a really great feeling about this guy for us

Thanks to everyone for your kind comments but I’m sure we all realise that many are and have been in a far far worse position than me speedy recovery to everyone out there who have had the miss fortune to suffer at the hands of this vile disease.
