Quote ="Grimmy"You would want three of Manfredi/Gelling/Gildart/Burgess/Marshall/Davies sat in the stands whilst Jack Owens has a guaranteed spot just because he can kick?
IMO you pick your best team, then the best kicker among them does that job. The best three or so kickers should always be staying back after training and practicing with a kicking coach.'"
That's my point really, we all would all love decent/successful goal kicker at the club who can kick, but we cant "build players" to suit our requirements or bring back inferior players just because they have kicked a goal! If a goal kicking second row became available would you drop Farrell or Bateman to accommodate them no. As you say the likes Williams, Marshall, Powell should be practising every spare minute they have. I think long term Jake Shorrocks will get the job but until he is getting regular game time to do so we will have to develop what we have, yes people will complain at missed kicks and yes it will cost us games, but its a bigger picture and not as simple as "we need a kicker"
