That's not really a useful stat at all because it doesn't take into account volume. If someone's putting in 10 kicks a game in attacking territory and coming away with only 1 dropout every 2 games, that's not a good return at all. Whereas someone could only put in an attacking kick or two a game, so even 1 out of every 3 games getting a drop out would be impressive.

The eye-test is far superior here and Brooks' short kicking game is pretty poor. He did have some nice grubbers back in the day when Tedesco was at fullback, but it also spoke of Teddy's kick chasing skills as much as did Brooks' kicks.

Actually it is. The comment was he can’t grubber and always kicks it to hard which clearly isn’t the case. You can use eye tests & scenario based mappings etc but reality is he gets a line drop out 1-2 games over 186 games = he can kick it short accurately at times.

Should his conversion rate be higher for sure and in no way saying he doesn’t over kick it at times but doesn’t mean people should make crap up.

Obviously only counting the times it doesn’t hit a defenders legs…. which is most times.
