OFFICIAL Esan Marsters [Discussion]

[avocadoontoast]

Absolutely agree.

 

[Tim Sheens]

A lot of the great goal kickers were pretty average players. El Masri, Halligan, Jason Taylor & Jarrod Crocker come to mind, but they were so valuable to their teams for their kicking alone

Geez, you could have chosen a few different player examples, as there is only one on that list that would have struggled without being a goalkicker. That said, we could certainly do with a better one right now,

 

[happy_tiger]

What about Smiffy …he can play a little bit and kick a little bit and can ref really well

 

[851]

Didn’t realise that. Thought his first club was Canterbury. Cheers

No worries, wasn't trying to be a smarty, just letting you know, he played about 36 games for Wests in 2 years, and the dogs come and swooped

 

[Spud_Murphy]

My point is, whilst they were/are exceptional goal kickers, none of them were world beaters. It was simply in response to someone's post asking why should we buy an average player (Martin) just because he can kick really well.

Feel free to disagree, but imo they were/are ok players, nothing special.

 

[Spud_Murphy]

No I don't, I just don't rate them. It's not a crime.

 

[Russell]

You're prerogative Chief.

Simply saying imo most of us do rate them as players.

 

[Spud_Murphy]

I get that

 

[gallagher]

Im with you. Eion Crossan, chook Herron and Luke Covell are examples of players picked purely for goal kicking. Martin has more than kicking ability.

 

[TYGA]

Martin is not coming this year. Heard Dogs have zero interest in releasing him. Maybe wrong but I can’t see it happening.

 

[Snake]

This could change now Foran is out for up to 4 months , they could use the money for a 5/8.

Can I just say this

Simply put Maguire will want to go up by sixes …...if he had a better kicking option he'd be using them

Did you use your Mensa degree to figure that out. …

@Spud_Murphy should have used Luke Burt..

 

[tigeress]

From 2014-2019 Moses Mbye goal kicking average was 69.18% so unless he's improved during the off season he probably wouldn't be the best option for us… Martin would be a good option for us but we don't have him

 

[happy_tiger]

@Kul ….we need the poop option back

Geo is talking out his poop shooter again

 

[tig_prmz]

we don't have any other good options and marsters is a confidence player. it'll improve as he keeps working on it. stick with marsters and if around mid season he's still kicking below 65-70 then we can think about changing.

 

[1eyedmel]

If Pat Richards is on the coaching staff, surely he would be helping Marsters. He should also teach our playmakers how to do those awesome spiral bombs that were so effective when he was playing.

 

[DonnyBrasco]

Who cried so much it was removed?
surely someone complained that they got too many poops and had a whinge.

 

[bigsiro]

Rhyse Martin or Brock Lamb should be first on the priority list.

 

[bigsiro]

I dunno bout that.
Cleary didn't help our kicking one iota. Neither did Jason Taylor.
Arguably two of the better kickers in their eras. Go figure.
