Big Picture Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 (edited) 8 minutes ago, DI Keith Fowler said: Sorry I'm just not following. That's literally how everyone kicks nowadays. You lean the ball forward and kick the point of the ball as below. There's a difference though, he's not kicking the ball straight on like the Aussie kickers back then, he's kicking it more soccer-style. He's more likely to hit it right that way. The end isn't on the ground either, that's another difference. Edited September 26 by Big Picture 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's effectively toeying the ball rather than striking through and around it. I was born to run a club like this. Number 1, I do not spook easily, and those who think I do, are wasting their time, with their surprise attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolford6 Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 It's strange how some really good goalkickers stop being first choice kicker. Keith Mumby, , David Hobbs, Sam Burgess at Bradford. Joe Westerman nowadays. Under Scrutiny by the Right-On Thought Police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to admit I don't remember him ever kicking. Wikipedia has him as not scoring a kick for the Bulls. He kicked a few and was a really good long-range kicker off the tee and out of hand. He kicked a goal in an Aussie Grand Final. His chances were limited because Paul Deacon and Iestyn Harris were our kickers but I thought he'd have been a kicker in the NRL.

Doesn’t ring any bells with me either. Reynolds would have been Souths kicker. Maybe Sam kicked for Bath and England RU? A few misses probably cost Bath and England the chance to win a trophy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmduck Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 Burgess had 1 unsuccessful kick in Souths GF win. Probably the final conversion when Souths were up by 24 points. He kicked 5/8 for Bradford v Wakefield in 2007. Neither Deacon nor Harris played that game. Here's a real hardcore trivia question: Who played five-eighth that day? It was Glenn Morrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
