Does anyone have his yearly kicking stats to see if he has improved?

Also, what was Richards % rate during his stint at the club?

Despite the doom and gloom over his goal kicking ability, I don't think he's actually lost us a game all season, with any miss under pressure, unless I stand to be corrected.
And as others pointed out above, I'd also say his accuracy has improved in the last half dozen or so matches, although without having the stats to back this up ! Lately seems to be quite reliable, and not missing the easy ones like he did earlier in the season.

Matty has got much better but I still never feel like he will get the really big kicks.

We missed 3 so would have still lost by a point plus Sinfield missed 1!!

When you score a try and
converted lifts the team yes we missed 3 and Sinfield 1 and whats more he converted a penalty which are frowned on this site how many times have we been awarded a penalty and took a tap instead of a conversion.

Yes I agree with that but ultimately we still would have needed to score more points, having said that a good conversion gives a boost as you say!!
