Neil Turley v Mick Nanyn.

wonder if Turley or Nanyn was / is the best kicker.

I reckon it difficult to say.....

neil turley

Nanyn is around 100pts off becoming one of the games top 10 scorers ever.

As for kickers Mick Stacy for me was the best ever Leigh kicker.

Ferguson.

Woody was the laziest kicker, it didn't matter whether he was five yards away or 50 it would only clear the bar with inches.

Neil Turley

Woody was brilliant. Unique. Oh Jimmy Ledgard wasn't a bad kicker either.

we have been quite blessed with kickers
Risman, Ferguson, Stacy, Woods, Turley,Nanyn to name but a few, it's the try scorers that have let us down

Woody was great.

None of this elaborate preparation for the kick with Woody either. It was often a question of whether the touch judges would get behind the posrts, before he took the kick!

Couple people havn't mentioned-Chris Johnson and Dean Purtill

I recall a radio interview with Woody just before he retired in 1993 stating He never saw the point of 'taking an eternity to have a pot at goal'

Is it still within the rules of the game that you can opt for a drop goal as a conversion rather than a conventional kick from the floor ?

Who kicks for us this season if Nanyn is out injured? Does anyone know if Ellis is a reliable kicker?

If in the absence of Nanyn, Riddy I assume

Ellis kicked 7/7 against the Dockers, including some very difficult ones.

What about Timmy Street,did n`t he finish with a 100% success rate?

Pretty sure that, that is still in the rules, along with forfeiting your conversion to get the ball back quicker and go for a try.

An Oz team did that the other week and ended getting another 6 pts from the resulting ko, pretty sure it was Parramatta.

Cant believe no one's mentioned Duncan Scott






Ferguson and JW best two for mine!!

Pretty sure I saw someone do it in the last year or two ..... just can't remember who/where/when???

Not sure if it's still allowed not though?

Its still in the rules that you DO NOT have to take a conversion following a try, happened a few times in aus in recent years

Yes you can drop for goal from a converstion or a penalty, it then makes a drop goal 2 pts - this was a question in the LISA quiz but not a 'points' one.

Has to be Turley for me because he was about 45 seconds quicker per kick!

We have indeed had some of the worlds best Goalkickers at Leigh and Colin Tyrer and Jimmy Fiddler could be added to those already mentioned. My choice would be between Ledgard,Ferguson and Woods all of them realiable match winners however, Woody would be my choice he was nerveless!!

Ferguson was the best in my view with Woods Johnson Ledgard and Turley all being v.good.
what about Botha as well back in the sixties?
