Kicking is vital to the game. The amount of times I've seen us fail for the lack of a good kicker makes me a little worried for the new season. You can either pin them back on the fifth tackle with a good kick or let them get right back on you, and the whole pressure of the game depends on that. Also, conversions and penalty conversions make up over a third of your points. We've won because of kickers, we've lost because of them. It's like having a dynamite midfield in football and a bad lone striker.

Chris i worry about it as could be vital in big games that are close.Missing 4 out of 7 kicks could be fatal.Maybe the widnes coaches are reading this and the trust site.Wish i could go on the pitch just to kick to touch and goal kicks.

I do as well, for the other team. Even if I tried my hardest they'd be in massive trouble.

And this from a club that has such a rich history of 100% goal takers..

Gary Connolly, Anthony Farrell, Jason Demetriou (these last two in the same season and I'm sure there was someone else kicking 100% that game).

In one of Barrie McDermott's last few games for us didn't he take a kick from in front of the posts? ** EDIT ** Just found it www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/ ... ax_34.html
