Truly great kickers kick high percentage in difficult conditions. Its a start but do not get carried away as our kicking is sorted somehow in a week.
Completly agree with,the one aginst Hull is still very fresh in the memory and of course itll be interesting to see how he reacts when he does miss a couple in a match,handing off to Marshall or whoever isnt the way forward time to assume the mantle at the very least for the remainder of this season.

...both of whom practised, practised, practised.
Consistency can be achieved through this.
Absolutely agree. Criminal that he's not been working on it previously (or working on it as much). Very unprofessional not to have someone practising consistently at place kicks. We'd have lost yesterday without those conversions.
That was an outstanding goal kicking performance by George.
My biggest fear was scoring as many tries as Wire but fewer conversions and subsequently losing.
So pleased for George and for everyone involved including us fans.
Watched game back today. Did anyone notice George when he came out after half time making himself sick. I have noticed he does this a lot and wondered is this a nerve thing or something in the energy drink that makes him wrench. He looked a different player today in body language and in his confidence.

Better more experienced players around him again maybe?
