It's never, ever the goal kickers fault if a team loses. Missed tackles, dropped ball, pointless penalties are all more significant reason for a loss and in all the games we've lost, all of the above were far too prevalent in our performance!

A reliable kicker gives confidence to the rest of the team, otherwise you know that you are always at a disadvantage. I am not suggesting getting rid and buying a kicker but making sure that everyone practises is not unreasonable.

Pretty much this,the kicking has been terrible and made the side look like it didnt really know what it was doing.

How can it be a pointless argument when if we had kicked the goals we would have won.

It is a pointless argument, i may as well say that Saints for instance would have done a short kick off after each of those goals and scored a try from it. If something has not happened you cannot know how things would have panned out.
