Very Good,

though my boss now thinks i'm happy in my work, with me laughing at my monitor

Any ideas?

Does any SL club have one of these?

Sinfield , Dobson,Richards,Deacon must all be around that mark !

I bet you they're not.

They will be closer than anyone we have had in since JD left

All of them you have mentioned, I suspect will be lesser than Hodgson, Bosc & Dixon, maybe not Dobson, but I've seen Sinfield & Deacon miss a fair few this year.

Darryl Halligan, acknowledged as one of the best kickers of his generation had an 80% success rate.

As oft stated; clueless.

Nope.

2009 season to date
Sinfield - 77%
Dobson - 84%
Richards - 67%
Deacon - 76%

2008
Sinfield - 77%
Dobson - 89%
Richards - 78%
Deacon - 84%

All of whom are specialist kickers which is something we are in dire need of we could also do with players for all the positions they play in as well ,get ur cheque book out Simon !!!!!!!!! Visa or Mastercard also excepted

Up to RD8, minimum 10 goals to qualify:

John Wilshere Salford 85.0%
Michael Dobson Hull Kingston Rovers 83.8%
Danny Orr Harlequins 82.1%
Tony Martin Wakefield 78.1%
Kevin Sinfield Leeds 77.4%
Brett Hodgson Huddersfield 76.3%
Paul Deacon Bradford 76.2%
Danny Tickle Hull 73.0%
Thomas Bosc Catalans 71.9%
Josh Hannay Celtic Crusaders 70.6%
Pat Richards Wigan 66.7%
Kirk Dixon Castleford 63.2%
Chris Hicks Warrington 60.0%
Gary Wheeler St Helens 60.0%
Sean Long St Helens 52.0%

Even El Masri, who is one of the best goal kickers in Rugby League doesn't have a 95% record.

Well you are right I was a tad ambitious with my percentages but they will all be miles in front of Hicks have you any idea what his percentages are ?

Lee Briers record:

2008 - 62% (kicking duties taken off him)
2007 - 69%
2006 - 73%
2005 - 52%
2004 - 77%
2003 - 74%

Chris Hicks is sadly 3rd in the "Most Missed Goals League" with 12 misses from 30 attempts (60%). Compared to :-

Dobson 31/37 (84%)

Sinfield 24/31 (78%)

Bring back Westwood.

Ben Westwood

2007 - 45%




I have often thought that whoever kicks for us will have a pretty difficult time.

We score the vast majority of our tries out wide, with very very few tries under the posts.

That said, the % should be much better IMO, and I have often used these stats to suggest this.

Rauhihi did a decent little chip kick yesterday..

it was at that moment that I realised we'd lost the plot completely.

Rah to play in the halves on Friday

It was larrrvly, johno should of scored.



I also liked Rau's delayed passed that nearly sent Mozz in, cheeky half-back-esk!

He fancied himself at halfback a couple of times yesterday, there was one nice little pass he gave to Carvell on their line, and then the kick. Perhaps he should take Monas under his wing and show him how it's done!

Simple explanation for everything.

Not in shape?

Halifax have a 3rd choice kicker Lee Paterson.
His career record is kicked 13, scored 13 (100%) !

Yeh! he also grew some mean horns.

Bit of a beard too.
