Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3480779, member: 9052"] Trindall went alright, but I see him more as a playmaker at 6 rather than the game manager that we need at 7. he kicked a 40/20, but pretty much every other kick was just the stock kick to the corner falling 15m from the goal line. we can say that we just need a Chad Townsend style halfback, that feeds the ball to the rest… except we were spoiled last year with Reyno’s elite kicking game. his kicks to the corner have hang time that allows the chase to get there whilst also being within the 10m line… a team rucking it out from their goal line is a whole different proposition to rucking it out from the 20m line. Not to mention the distance that Reynolds gets on his long kicking in general. He’s legit the 2nd best kicker in the game behind Cleary, that’s what we’re trying to replace in a couple years. prior to Reynolds we had Milf, BHunt and PWall putting up nothing kicks to the 15-20m… putting no pressure on the opposition and failing to help us win the field position battle. In the previous era of NRL, cookie cutter kicking to the corner was fine, because you had full penalties all over the field helping you get field position… in the current Rugba Leeeeeeg era you get 6 agains and refs that just don’t call penalties, so long kicking is vitally important.. hence why Cleary is immortal status because he can kick it 70m on the full, but not really do much else [/QUOTE]
