How to fix the goalkicking %

[crouching_tiger]

Just try this guys…
Every time Benji lines up for a difficult kick from the sidelines, tell everyone around you how "he is going to miss it for sure". And without fail....it goes over the bar EVERY time!! :laughing:

You know i reckon he's a great striker of the ball…..just doesn't seem to take a good line...always to the left from either side of the park...Once he starts trusting himself to throw it right more and allow for the draw(right to left) he'll be kicking them from all over the place...

I'd be sticking with him....To me it seems he draws it more under fatigue...If he has a kicking coach he sould have spotted this really.......practice at concord and game pressure...world of difference.

He'll be getting high %'s soon enough...but frustrating atm i know

just get the guys to score closer to the posts …..

Let Lazarus do the goal kicking. Problem solved. :mrgreen:

 

[senexx]

I was thinking let Lawrence do it.

I thought Lazarus was a good goal kicker too but why isn't he kicking them instead of Meaney in NSW Cup?

 

[Gobbs]

Sack Jason Taylor for starters. And Get El Magic down to Concord ASAP!

 

[Eddie]

He will come good. Would help if we scored a few more closer to the posts.

It happened to me last weekend when we scored right on halftime CT.

I told my old man he probably wont get it because he has been kicking poorly this year, my dad said have a little confidence and then Benji kicked it.

Agree with you Gobbs - he's kicking worse since Taylor started coaching him and El Magic would have to be a better option. Love your vigil for Timmy, senexx!!

Awesome thread.
I find if I stick my fingers in my ears, wiggle my toes and go "oink oink"…he never misses.

 

[hadds75]

I dont know what you are talking about CT as before eveyr kick I say he will miss it and he still misses.

Alien I Got told that the coaching staff and just try to protect the knee and ease him into just playing full time footy again.
I have always been a massive Blake fan , but I and I bet Sheens was hoping that Blake get more gametime in Reserve grade before coming into The starting 17.After watching him again yesterday , apart from having a very average game, I still believe he is very underdone.

Though I would rather see him than any other option Sheens has at the moment.His long and short passing game is very good,and should ve used in servicing the squad in this way.He read plays well in attack & defence. The first 2 rounds he was tackling well around the bootlaces but yesterday his tacking style was poor and doing a lot if shirt grabbing.His short kicking game is excellent and his long kicking game is improving as his legs get stronger.

Yet if used correctly , his time haa come now , prematuely , and he has to take it and make the mist if it.
I just hope the fans understand what he has done , the heart he has to come back from the last 2 horrible years and give him a chance to settle into the role.

And yeah , Benji should work more with his Hook/draw, like I have with my golf game….being a major critic if his goalkicking , I can see him improving, as the guy is way too proud to be kicking at those %s

yeah I noticed yesterday he was backing off a bit when defending when he should have went forward and gotten into them.

The credit should go to Kul, it was his idea not mine.

 

[westTAHger]

In this week's RLW there is a small piece on Benji and his goalkicking in the team roundup secton. Benji said he has been hitting them very sweet from all over the park at training, but for some reason (I assume mental) it is not translating to the field. Sheens has no plans to strip the goalkicking duties from him.
