With Pat gone now, who will be our permanent kicker.

Is Josh good enough?

The best kicker at the club approaching or playing first team level is Rocky Hampshire but Josh is the best from a he will be in the team every week bar injury perspective.

I do wonder if a Stephenson / Gill combination scenario is worth trying

Matty Smith is the best goal kicker left in the squad

I reckon it will be Matty Smith.

I thought Matty would have been fantastic particularly given his round ball background but IMO he has been poor when place kicking albeit his drop kicks are superb. Perhaps time to enlist a 'Dave Aldred' as we did in the past.

Really don't agree with Rocky he's a good young player but he lacks the kicking power and accuracy, Josh would be ok but people seem to be forgetting about Matty Bowen

+1

One even more for the future but IIRC jake Sharrock is a superb kicker too.

Yes he might be our next Sam and he has got skills but he still has a weak kick.

Yes, Jake is another academy player with heaps of potential
