    Remember him having a cannon out of hand.

    Can't remember what he's like from the tee.

    Given that they've been keen to stress that we are in year one of a 2-3 year rebuilding phase, I think they will definitely opt to work to improve the kicking over time rather than just parachute in a ready-made (possibly one-dimensional) kicker for quick fix results.

    Yeah. Foley's selections on Friday alluded to the fact that reputations mean nothing, but I have had seven years with the Force and probably Ten with the Wallabies where that has meant precisely nothing. I'll remain cynical for a little while.

    Kyle should easily retain his jersey. Nobody in their right mind would put Sias at 12, unfortunately, to replace Sam with Sias would prove you aren't in your right mind, but anyway.

    Eager to see the team list for this week!

    I was mortified at the selection at first, I was one eyed for a win over the Rabble. but after a little (not so) quiet reflection, I am happy. He (as you pointed out) is ignoring whether you think you 'deserve' a 15 spot, and has asked his players to (foley key word) Earn their spot. It might see us lump up a few losses here or there, but I think itll also weed out any players not dedicated to the cause/team or hungry enough to go 110% at it.

    Hopefully the trend continues, along with a similar trend in contracting. Let's not forget, he will still have some players who he isn't keen on, but didn't want to pay out.

    Agree. JOC wasnt the best kicker at the beginning either but spending some time with that specialist saffa kicker improved the Brand heaps. Maybe hire the same guy to work his magic with godwin?

    I think those baggin' young Kyle need to chill out and give him a fair go....

    Wasn't it his first run on? Give him a chance, if he keeps missing then yeah we'll have to do something about it! But until then let's back him eh!

    Haven't we already got a kicking coach - Fowler? He's supposed to be Rugby Strategist/Kicking Coach/Psychologist

    kyle is a good kicker , just that playing super rugby at 12 when your 19 is a pretty full plate . he is a hard working kid and a good learner he will come godo if the coach keeps the faith

    otherwise fire up sias to kick them all at 10 and bring on sam later in the match to light up a few tries

    heard that panasonic is in the japan final against suntory . SNK plays for Panasonic i think ( coach is tony brown ) , maybe he is good touch !! explains the delay in him joining the force

    Shoah there cowboy, not hatin on him, actually I was saying he deserves his spot and work on the kicking.

    Sias IS a better kicker, but doesn't deserve a jersey with his performance on Friday night.
