OFFICIAL Esan Marsters [Discussion]

[Masterton]

I see Rhys Martin had a chance to draw the game against the Storm and missed by 30 metres.

 

[Doc_Tiger]

Yep, and that kick he placed near the sideline. I reckon the try was scored a good 5m in from the line. What the heck was he thinking?

 

[Nucky_Thompson]

Know how you feel brother

 

[Yossarian]

He sounds like our kind of kicker. Sign him up!

 

[TheDaBoss]

you could argue and say that it was one of his first "pressure" kicks

 

[851]

He did kick 2 near sideline conversion' earlier, and his record is something like 46 from 50, so yeah, he and Marsters are on par

 

[TheDaBoss]

Martin is a bit better and more accurate… sign martin, give him kicking duties and the pressure is eased on esan thus improving his game imo

 

[Bones]

You could, but you would end up losing the argument.

Esan couldn’t kick any of them and there was no pressure so what does that say?

 

[TheDaBoss]

i was talking about martin kicking not marsters sorry… should of stated that...

 

[bigsiro]

What if Marsters is kicking this week ??
Is there some kind of fan revolt thing we can organise?

It's already making me nervous.

 

[hsvjones]

Marsters in not a rear good kicker full stop and should be a back up if needed in a game due to injury… All Good goal kickers miss but mainly the touchlines ones and they eat up the close ones. I feel if we continue with him kicking it is only going to drag his main role down as a player. He just needs to go back to just focusing on the footy side of things and get his confidence back as he is a weapon when on song.

Question is who takes over ? Moses for me , Benji when he plays ? Brooks ? Thompson ?

Going up in 6's and not 4's makes a massive difference to the game and the confidence of the team.

A lot of "pressure kick" situations this weekend and funnily enough, half the blokes fudged them and half did not.

Corey Norman's probably the "pressure kick" King right now, jagging the match-winning FG two weeks running.

Ignoring obviously that he missed a few attempts as well.

 

[Masterton]

He did kick 2 near sideline conversion’ earlier, and his record is something like 46 from 50, so yeah, he and Marsters are on par

I wasn't saying they were on par. You imagined that.

 

[jojo]

Moses is a 67% career kicker. Not exactly inspiring or what we need if we want to go up by 6.

 

[hsvjones]

Understand and agree.. But these days we need to recruit a kicker and not use a make shift kicker.. However Marsters is terrible and confidence is down so Moses can only be an upgrade

 

[Tigerlily]

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.

Have been wondering that myself 1eyed, have not noticed anything that would indicate Big Patty Richards has implemented his kicking style into the team at all eg; no spiral bombs, no spiral line drop outs etc etc. He must of been a blow in…

 

[1eyedmel]

Well it must have been a blow in with no effect.

 

[happy_tiger]

Did everyone forget a certain B Hodgson …....

 

[tigerap]

Did everyone forget a certain B Hodgson …....

Hodgo did sort out Lolhea's GK action which improved his accuracy…here's hoping he does the same to Marsters...his GK'ing this year has been appauling

 

[cochise]

It's actually something I have been thinking about, last year Benji was arguably the best bomber in the game with a lot of variety to his bomb and the ball constantly being misjudged by opposition defenders. This year that his gone and his bombs have been end over end bombs. I have found that change very strange.
