I thought he lacked a lot of depth on his kicks last night.

The intentionally contestable ones?

I’d love him to be able to send it like Cleary/Burton and 40/20 like Hunt but not every half in the NRL is the master of every kick

On top of that, it's his first year at this position. He strikes me as a bloke who wants to continuously improve himself.

Towards the end of the game they were contested but often we were landing those field position ones on the 20-30. Execution wise, either we didn't contest when we were supposed to, which isn't Nicho's fault, or they should have been landing deeper.

I'm not expecting him to be Cleary/Burton as he isn't there with his boot.

Yeah, I found the placement of those kicks a bit confusing. We were happy to give up field position to try and contest the ball. As a gameplan it really didn't work

Agree . It finally cost us the game .

Also got caught on 5th tackles close to lime instead of playing the Cleary long game & getting a repeat set .

If you watch him during our games he is everywhere doing everything, it’s crazy how he can even think where and how to kick let alone organise a team by the end of it.

I would love him to save a little energy and make room for his big plays that he made his name from but unfortunately if he doesn’t do all those things for us no one else in our team really will..

He needs a half that can take some of the kicking responsibility off him.

either we let Trindall have a go next year or if we don’t and coach goes with Moylan he needs to do a lot more off and on the ball so Hynes our strike player can actually pick his moments and save energy or we will be in this same exact spot next year.

It’s these games where we need Moylan to step up, as soon as they shut our kicking game down which was easy to do we were very predictable and offered nothing.. we just kept losing momentum and they just kept creeping up the field

First half was the perfect time to be kicking long on fourth. Their forwards were dominating and we had the wind at our back.

Honestly no idea what we were thinking last night.

the 1 or 6 is their opinion yeh? because he has said multiple times he came to us as he wanted to play 7 (like he did at Manly) and fitz wanted him as the 7
I think anyone saying he should be our one or six is massively undervaluing the fact he wants to be 'the man' and playing 7.
He wants to play 7, he wants the responsibility, he wants to touch the ball most plays, he wants to take kicks, he wants to direct the team.
And he's going to go close to a Dally M in his first year as a 7 doing all that.

Anyone listen to this?


Listen from 153:40

Notes:

- best position 1 or 6
- kicked 24 / 27 kicks
Nicho has kicked less than Chad, Burton, DCE and Moses. Not like he's the only half who is a sides dominant kicker.
Sorted by average Cleary jumps to #1 and Reynolds and Hunt join the top of the list too, Hynes falls to 8th.

Yes Matt sits 29th by average kicks of players who have played 12 or more games but guess what he's still ahead of DBrown, Flanno, Luai, Dearden and more.

The kicking disparity between our 7 and 6 is not some diabolical outrageous thing we are doing wrong compared to everyone else.

yeh i dont get why people are shocked our predominant kicker, is kicking more than the guy we bag for not being able to kick

even if trindall was 6, id expect it to be a similar discrepancy

They weren't saying it's a bad thing about him taking so many kick's, they were talking about how much work he gets through and how many metres he kicked for
