I've seen Rocky kick thirteen out of thirteen goals from different parts of the field ????????
He may be our next Sam IMO got great skills ????
Yes he might be our next Sam and he has got skills but he still has a weak kick.
Frano Botica had a limited range distance wise. He needed to be in the opposition half but in terms of accuracy Frano was dead eye partly because he concentrated on timing and aim rather than distance. Frano used to often get them to almost 'creep' over.
Distance wise Joe Lydon and Pat were the best I have seen with Pat being far more accurate from conversion distance out wide etc.
Honestly, Hampshire is the best kicker we have had in a while whilst Sharrock looks similarly good.
I often wondered whether Botica purposely made them just "drop over", it happened so consistently. A master kicker who passed on his knowledge to Farrell. Perhaps Deacs is on the same game now, I hope?!

I would think Matty smith will do fine, especially if he focuses on kicking in training.
As Dave O has said I think we will miss Pat's booming drop outs that go beyond the half way line. I don't think anyone will do that in next years squad.
