Frano Botica is probably the best kicker in league I've ever seen in the last 30 years.
When I was young I did see Whitehead and Hesford but perhaps a bit too young to remember how good they were (Hesford was awesome I'm told).
And I thought he could play rugby......'"

Hesford was a great kicker and a big strong player too.
He was also the only player i've seen take a penalty kick for touch from the ground and not from his hands. set up as if it was a conversion.
He did this quite regularly and with great effect as there was less chance of him slicing it as happens occasionally when kicked out of the hands.
