OFFICIAL Esan Marsters [Discussion]

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.

I could never work that out, maybe our blokes are unteachable, more likely the teacher though
 
A good friend of mine played 1st grade for Randwick for ten years and ended up with a career kicking record over 90%. He would kick left or right foot depending on the side he was kicking from. Anyway I said to him a few years ago why didn’t he approach a NRL side about being a kicking coach. He said you can’t coach kicking it’s in your DNA but you can practice, but all the practice in the world will not improve your stats by about 5%
 
I know this is not going to go down well. but I think Esan has a profile and reputation he doesn't deserve. And, I think his goal kicking is an example of what I think is his weakness; very little attention to detail. He needs a good (proverbial, not literal) smack around the ears to remind him that he is only a few lackluster games from NSW Cup.
 
Very insightful post. I too am waiting to see the evidence of the forums rapture in this fella. Good - yes. Great - not even close….... yet
 
I don’t think Masters should be bagged for not being a great kicker, Iam sure he is giving it his best shot. I point the finger at the club, all teams if they want any form of success recruit a quality kicker, it’s a no brainer
 
As a centre I would probably only want Latrell Mitchell ahead of Marsters in my team but that's me..

Ironically Mitchell kicks at 73% overall which is almost identical to Marsters…maybe his miss by less or something
 
I think he could be a really good player but he needs to work on his downside issues like his defence and mistakes. I think we need to keep him because he has a lot of upside.
 
I think Marsters stats are a little misleading as we're not a team (at least in 2018) that scored a large number of tries on the wing…

We've scored 11 tries this year of which 4 have been on the wing. So 64% of tries have not been scored by wingers. Marsters kicking % in 2019 is 64%.

Couldn't that be said about the majority of players Earl
