Should we not gicve this to Richards full time. If need be get him a kicking coach etc. He has a good record in terms of not being injured, he will always be on the pitch unlike a forward and it could boost his confidence al a Frano Botica.

I think we definately need a recognised kicker... not sure whether its Richards or Tickle to be honest. It would be nice to have Frano back kicking them from the touchline every time. :)

to be fair 1 of tickles was quite silly as he slipped before he took it which lead to the abll hitting the post. and we missed 4 which was only really 8 points and tickle wouldnt usually miss that so that about 6 points. everyone misses kicks.

That was worrying. One thing about Danny Tickle is that his kicking last year was superb, not far behind Farrell in terms of accuracy from difficult kicks, and none of the others who have tried kicking this year have been close to the standard he set. But he himself seems to be struggling with kicks this year. Perhaps it's lack of practice, as we've not exactly been scoring many tries this year, or perhaps he's got other things on his mind at the moment which is affecting his kicking.

And against Saints, not that we had many conversion attempts. Richards missed an absolute sitter in that game, from only just wide of the goals.

We missed too many WG. I always rated Danny T for his kicking but he seems very much out of form and as a forward he is rarely going to be on the pitch for the full 80. The club could even get Faz back to work with Pat
