I disagree, although Hicks is not the worlds greatest kicker he does a good job, for instance at Bradford he scored quite a few tough conversions.

Bridge (fair play to him for taking kicking responsibility) almost cost us the match against Hull

I suppose we could go back and forth quoting matches where one or the other has had good or bad games but i don't see how Bridge can be better than Hicks.

Anyone got any stats

With more practice Bridge will get better at kicking goal's, his kicks from out wide only missed by a whisker against Hull FC and Wigan, he doesn't seem able to get much distance on them, watching him warm up at FC, he was kicking from under the sticks and never got close to making half-way but practice makes perfect.

Makes a refreshing change - arguing over who is the best rather than the worst!

If Hicks is fit he has to come back into the side, for his goal kicking and try scoring capabilities.

Who misses out is a tough one. It will be harsh on Riley after his recent good form, but I reckon he might be the one to miss out, with King moving to the left wing.

Still its good for Che Smith to have these selection headaches.

Maybe its the 2 step run up. Needs some kicking coaching.

To be fair Bridge's success ration in his one year as kicker (2005) is better than Hicks' ratio this year and last.
