Re: Goalkickers, I wonder how last year's ratio of goalkicking accuracy (Hardaker & Smith) compares with someone like Colin Whitfield who 'from memory' skewed some absolute whoppers that should have been nailed on.

It did feel at the time like he could miss an easy conversion attempt

we have also just had someone saying Botica was overrated on warriors fans, and couldnt put anyone through a gap. not sure what they were watching but certainly a different player to the one i remember

Most likely they weren't watching anyone. That's the only explanation for an opinion like that.

Anyones who has an opinion which is that, isn't someone who is worth listening to their opinion

i know at times i am shocked at what some people post, and i believe that we should all be allowed to air our opinions (within board rules), but i honestly think this poster must have been watching someone else. i genuinely couldnt believe i was reading it and i've copied it in below

"Honestly, I think Botica was made to look a far better player than he was by the quality around him at the time. I can’t recall a single time he put a man through a gap. Though he could kick goals (ironically, we would still have won everything with no kicker at all...)."

we are talking about a player who started on the wing, moved to stand off and also played Full back for NZ. Yet, he couldnt play rugby
