This is all players who attempted goal kicks since 2011 in order by best percentage

Nice. Here's the same list sans kickers who attempted < 25 goals. Because it's pretty meaningless otherwise.

Corey Parker 140/199 - 70.35%
Chad Townsend 28/42 - 66.67%
Daly Cherry-Evans 28/47 - 59.57%

I'm surprised Soward is so low. I thought his percentages were way higher than that.

 

[Jono078]

Gidley is 4th for those who've attempted over 100. I knew he'd be up there. I think the last couple of years (including this one) would have taken it down a bit.

Unit, Hindmarsh actually is 50% - when we thumped Cronulla 74-4, he took the last conversion attempt from the sideline (with no fussing) and just missed.

 

[Apey]

Numbers don't lie. He is clearly a significantly better kicker than anyone else including Halligan and El Masri.

That's true. Just imagine if he had only kicked 1 goal and he got it. He'd be the best kicker ever. Never missed one!

 

[Charlie124]

Yeah but he's nowhere near as good as Nathan Hindmarsh or Clint Newton.

 

[Shire Panther]

If you had to pick a guy to kick a sideline goal to save your life...

All time... You have to go Darryl Halligan.

below average winger, absolute shit commentator... But absolutely clutch when it came to goal kicking.

Reynolds has a long way to go IMO...

He wasn't clutch in 91 when he kicked 1/5 in the major semi v Penrith which we won 16-14.

If Halligan's radar was on that day Norths would of went straight to the GF but luckily for us his radar was off, Norths lost and the rest is now history.

 

[gypsy]

It's obviously hard to compare players from different eras.
With goal kicking, you absolutely can't.

With perfectly weighted Steedens and the consistency of a kicking tee, it's easy money compared to times past.

These stats are from 2011 to 7pm today (as requested)

Cameron Smith 262/361 - 72.58%

I have never understood how the Storm has continued to use Smith as a goal kicker. As his record shows he is not that great at it.

 

[Jason Maher]

I think we can all agree to lol@souffs.

 

[orochimaru]

couple of years of kicking = best kicker of all time?

LoL@BunniesMan

Same with Jamie Lyon ant Manly. Don't they have a better kicker?

LoL@BunniesMan

Hundreds of kicks are an adequate sample size.

 

[Miller was a legend]

Hundreds of posts are an adequate sample size

 

[851]

Reynolds and Jarrod Croker are the same age and Jarrod Croker has scored 264 more points.

A flaw in BM's plan,who'd have thought that.

 

[Mr Spock!]

Ross Conlon says hi.

When he starts kicking them from halfway and beyond ala Eric Simms or Ross Conlon then you may have a case.

 

[clipser]

Does BunniesMan always talk so much shit?

Sure Reynolds looks the goods at the moment, but like others have said... give it another 700-800 games and then lets see how good he is.

Saw him kick one at Lidcombe oval for wests against canterbury,after the halftime siren from 53m,sailed over the cycle track and just kept going.

Shit, 800 games? Is he going to be playing until he is 50 before we can decide?

 

[Dogs Of War]

Shit, 800 games? Is he going to be playing until he is 50 before we can decide?

Well an even 700. That way he can play more games than Brian Bevan. Also he then should have a dodgy leg, which will hurt his kicking percentage, and led Souths to 20 consecutive wooden spoons. Might have had a kid with Ram Raid by then too.
