And who do we think SHOULD be goal kicker next year?

[Tiger_heart]

Maybe it's one less thing for Benji to worry about?? Sigh!

Benji will be first choice but now we have a back up in anasta

Marshall 72 goals in 2012
Anasta 62

Not much between the two…so I guess you are right..

Benji Marshall will stay goal kicker but its good we have a second option or they could even share.

Start of season Benji found some career best form in goal kicking but slowly deteriorated with the rest of our season

I'm going to say stick with Benji from the sideline and Anasta everything else. Benji seems to struggle when the kick is halfway between sideline and the middle.

Anasta seems to take an eternity. For some reason I get so frustrated when he kicks off after the other team scores.

That field goal still haunts me to this day so I don't know how he is going to make it up to me!..

I would give it to Anasta- just so that Benji can concentrate entirely on just running the footy like he used to. Also take all the other kicking duties (kicking for touch and dropouts) off Benji as well, we rely on him to do too much. And hopefully we never see any of those speculative short dropouts ever again

 

[Gray]

How is Millers kicking in NYC? he hes in the team. Maybe he could be the option. I do agree with taking it off Marshall, so he can solely concentrate on his footy.

 

[cktiger]

As long as Sheens is coach it's not about taking it off Marshall - it's whether he'll give it up.

 

[tiger4ever]

I would give anasta the goal kicking and kicking in general play
