Who are ur first & 2nd string kickers this year?
Hohaia
Inu/Fish/Locke
Moon
Ropati
Vatuvei
Maloney
Seymour
Packer
Heremaia
Rapira
Mateo
Mannering
Luck
Berrigan
Lillyman
Matulino
Ta'ai/Brown
Out of this squad I would have
1. Maloney
2. Locke
3. Inu
4. Lance
5. Seymour
Based on what I have seen however I would prefer this:
If I was Ivan I would of had/have intease kicking comps under major pressure over a period of days/weeks in different types of conditions to see who who is the best overall and second to that who is the best in different areas of the field.
eg If we get a Penalty between the 40/50 to the left choose the person that can make the kick 9/10 under the conditions they trained in (cross wind). Another example is chosing the right kicker when we score out on Manu's wing dont choose the overall best kicker choose the best kicker from wide out on his side. Simple Really
Dont let Pride get in the way, Play to Win and take points on offer!
So what I am trying to see we could end up using two or three kickers depending on the situation and whos on the field at the time.
Same theory should be used with positional kicks like 40/20 when we are able to stick with the plan. (choose the best kicker for the type of kick you know you might end of with on the 5th tackle)
But this is already happening right? ;-)
What do I know I only watch the game sorry for the long post.

Inu will be straight in if fit. You dont pay that kinda money for a park player. He is also anaccomplished kicker which is also why he was purchased wasn't it?
Buster is a great kicker better than Locke from what I saw, but will he get a start?
He was for the majority of last season, but faded towards the end.Funnily enough, according to http://stats.rleague.com/rl/scorers/scorers_idx.html
Inu - 80% (60 from 75)
Maloney - 74% (73 from 98)
...I was sure Maloney was in the high 80s or so
