Well, I was talking about now rather than, say, next century. :roll:

I was told at work today that Wello was a damn good kicker in the academy, though it is so hard to imagine that (sorry Wello!). But if Wilkin, Wello (?), Gidley, Long and anyone else who happened to be playing but who can also kick (eg Eastmond, Foster) all trained up and took on kicking duties as well as Long then Long wouldn't have all the pressure to produce all of the time, would he? I'm not criticising him, just looking at his performance and thinking maybe he needs some pressure taking off him. That's not to say we'd convert every try from then on but we would likely have a better chance of converting most of them most of the time, which could be crucial.

Longy will have a game where he will start kicking them for fun, he will get some confidence again and there will be no problems. Hopefully this Friday.

I had a spell of watching the academy when Wello was playing, and he kicked them from everywhere, infact I can't actually remember seeing him miss.
But watch Longy on Friday I bet he's a different kicker.

This is not a dig at Longy thread, he's a legend in my eye's anyone who can rub other teams fans up the wrong way is doing a good job, his overall play is still the best No7 in SL..
But his goal kicking has gone poor... Like someone said bring on HKR Friday & we could see him put em over from everywhere.
