The last conversion attempt was a fair bit wide, the groan was most likely due to it being a kick to level the scores and missing. His first kick was only just wide of the mark however. If any kick had one flag up and one down I would have thought it would have been that one.

Sick of here grumblings every time a goal is missed "bloody hell we need a goal kicker" "bring back matty smith"





We've had a terrible goal kicker since pat left and have made the Grand Final every year, winning last year.



You don't sign goal kickers you sign players who can play rugby and the best kicker in that team will kick.

Wind your neck in, no one has said we need a new kicker or even ridiculed Escare, all that's been said is for him not to hurry his kicks.

Escare has been terrific for us so far this season, and I think that far outweighs a few percentage points in goal-kicking. And as pointed out upthread, we are still early into the season.

Maybe he was rushing a bit, but to be fair the clock was ticking and we needed every second.

Escare struggles to kick from the left. He missed two on Friday form that side that were about 10m in from the touchline. Conversely he landed one from the touchline on the right He's left footed and seemingly hasn't worked out how to deal with that.



He has the power and distance so to me it looks like he needs some coaching help for kicking from the left side of the pitch.

Perhaps if/when Escare gets a new contact the club will invest in hiring a goal kicking coach for him.

He's already a good goal kicker but he could be far better with good coaching.

The last kick was 6inches in from the touchline.

As per the picture on the other forum where someone responded to you

As a leftie, he's going to struggle more when kicking from the left touchline.



Hopefully, he does what Richards did, and goes out and does hours and hours of practice.

That is not my recollection, I could be wrong but having watched him, in my opinion he struggles when kicking from the left hand side of the pitch.

Well have a look on the other site where someone responded to your post.

It was 6 inch in from the touchline.

Bang in line to where Marshall scored.



How many did he miss from the left tonight?

2 from George and one from Marshall.

3/3



PS

I do think your right that he's better from the right than left

However

I still think your using this point to "have a go" when nothing had been said for the previous 6/7 games.

I could go on but I won't, but as someone else on the other site mentioned it's strange how some people start to post when wigan are losing.

Halleluia!







I am sure you could go on. You have tried to turn a simple observation of mine that I think our goal kicker kicks better from one side of the pitch than another into "having a go".



Despite agreeing with what I said. Well done you. I am sure there is some logic in your head that justifies this somewhere.
