Interesting article. https://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/sp ... cker-2025/ We had the 5th best kick stats last year at 78% (Thewlis' 76% boosted by Ratchford's 88% contribution) but it cost us big time in the Hull KR semi if you recall - losing 10-8 with 2 missed kicks. It's an area we can improve. I wonder if we we stick with Thewlis or whether Leyland will get the duties based on his impressive kicking so far?

Whoever has looked best in training I would say. Thewlis’ % was ok last year but can be improved on (we’ve been spoiled in this dept recently with Ratch). Was his first season kicking though after a few years of not practicing by all accounts. I’m sure he will improve, I’d be tempted to stick with him.

Leyland has started his kicking career with us well, but it’s a very small sample size obviously, he was at just under 66% last year - which isn’t great.
