We are in desperate need of another 75 percent kicker and it's not young sutty who could still turn out to be a decent player we were spoiled rotten with sinfield winning things by his kicking we had no rights to win even last season with sinnys kicks we would have been in contention for the playoffs and it cost us against the saints fairly simple really.

Lilly should be given a decent run in the team at no 7 he might be a bit slow but with time and better coaching could become a midfield general with guidance from an accomplished no 6 or spend money on an accomplished kicker.

Suggestions?

doen't need any. you are correct

Burrow is a great kicker, not sure why we aren't utilising that though.

Don't agree at all, Sutcliffe is as good if not better. Besides, i don't think he enjoys the role.

I completely agree.

IIRC kicking was the main cause of his groin problems, so had to stop.

he kicked brilliantly v HKR. iirc 4/4 including touchline conversions. and lilley is better than both of them

We need a consistent kicker who can kick from both touch lines 4 from 4 under the sticks doesn't cut it 75 percent over the season from all over the field is required Lilley could do this with his set up routine tempremant and consistent straight kicks in my opinion sutty has a nice long kick but it is drawn (bent left) no good under pressure and as mentioned does not look to enjoy the pressure.

Didnt Sutty miss 2 off the touchline? Jeez hardly a crime and they wasnt bad efforts.



We have been spoilt rotten the last dozen years.

With ref to the last dozen years,yes we were spoilt and lucky to have had probably one of the all time great goal kickers and replacing him with the equivalent % kicker was always going to be a tough ask.but we have to go with what we have and learn to live with it as we will with his game management,organising and everything that came with him The past is the past.

Wrt Sinfield he didn't just walk into the team a great GK in fact i remember a game v Bradford at Headingley when he missed numerous "easy" kicks which lead to a section of the fan base singing there's only 1 Ben Walker.

Yes he grew into the role,because as with the rest of his game he worked hard at it and did loads of afters in training,it is unlikely we will ever replace him but as I said we go with what we have
