OFFICIAL Esan Marsters [Discussion]

[tigeress]

You are right Marsters probably just gets a bit overwhelmed - apparently he kicks well at training.

 

[boonboon]

masters did kick at 77% last year which was above a number of the so called top goal kickers including Adam Reynolds, Clint Gutherson, Aidan Sezer

 

[avocadoontoast]

Yeah but we didn’t score many on the wings. His percentage from the corners is pretty bad.

 

[Seantice]

Watching Marstters practice goalkick. He always has that late hook. Jeez he needs to get rid of it.

 

[Tiger_Steve]

Are they going over?

 

[supercoach]

The day he kicks one from out wide in the 79th minute to win a game is the day I will call him a goal kicker.

 

[Moh]

I like many was hoping we'd never see him kick for us after last week. But a great show of faith from Madge has really given him some confidence.

Doesn't at all appear a natural goal kicker but I really hope he can keep this up.

 

[WT2K]

Nice way to bounce back, Esan.

The one from out wide to put us in front by 2 looked OK

 

[Spud_Murphy]

Well don't I look like a real twat for this comment! Good on ya Madge for sticking with him and congrats Esan on bouncing back like that. I honestly didn't think he could do it.

 

[JD Tiger]

I liked the one from out wide when we were down by 2\. Pressure kick that one, and he stood up and had a shot. Slotted it over too. It was good to see.

I was terrified it was going to miss, mind you, and I could barely watch it.

 

[TYGA]

Well done to the kid. Great bounce back.

 

[TheDaBoss]

i cheered everytime he slotted it… think im going to do that from now on

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%

Sorry but that's rubbish. it may have been the case for your friend but many, many players go from average kickers to the very best by practicing their ass off and getting coaching.

People forget the likes of El Masri, Johns, Halligan were all kicking in the 65-75% bracket until they worked and worked on it and got to 85-90%

 

[bigsiro]

So did I.
I think we all did!

Definitely going to cheer every single time he kicks one over.

I reckon we all should at games from now on.

 

[krissy]

I really felt for him last night, so much media & social media attention about his poor kicking. To his credit he dug deep, blocked it all, even the Bronco home crowd, focussed and achieved perfect results. I was so proud of him. Well done.
I think Madge did the right thing to keep him kicking, even though I admit it terrified me.
Confidence back, onwards and upwards !

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Stood up last night and hit them from everywhere.

Can't criticise that, good on him for not going to water.

Yes I see he came out and admitted he read my kicking tips in this thread

Vote 1 at the next election

If he was playing needled up with an ankle injury why in the name of sweet meats would you have him goal kicking?

Don't have much issue with Maguire trying it out, but unlike us, he and his assistants knew of Esan's problem, so should have taken the duties off him and certainly so after the second miss. Likely WT would be 4/5 had he done so, plus the bonus of Penrith being 1/5.
