Wigan Warriors • Goal Kicking

If we were signing just for goal kicking we would go and sign someone like Sneyd for example (shudders).
Sign the best player you can for the position is always the way.
Looking around there are not that many great kickers who are not very much fixtures at the club they are at and would be un-signable.
Perhaps what we need is to bring in someone on a temporary basis as a goal kicking coach to work with payers we have to try and improve someone say like Smith (although Briers was a regualr kicker if I recall correctly so maybe there already is someone there.....)
If I was a younger player at Wigan (or any club really) I would be looking at taking up and practicing goal kicking as a way of making myself more likely to be selected as it is another useful skill to have.
Yep, pretty sure Briers has been working with players on this, interestingly it was also mentioned by IL that Briers would also come in handy with our recruitment.
If only we had a Pat Richards in the squad just waiting to be developed in the same way, pretty sure he didn’t start as our regular kicker when he first joined us.
