we can agree on this subject reefy. his kicking is woeful at the moment, although i remember he kicked one good one into the ingoal.
Like you i rate him 2/10.

Dykes is a far superior kicker than Kimmorley so why does BK grab the ball on the 5th. If we're going to go anywhere in this years comp, the kicking game has to be addressed NOW and supercoach has to stress to Kimmorley to let someone else do the downtowning.

I can't believe how he continues to fail to get the ball into the in goal these days.
i'm so sick of bombs. I agree Reefy a 2 at best.

The team needs repeat sets.
We are lucky to get 1 a week.I have seen 5 in this game today alone & its jut after half time.
He has to fix this problem!!
It not the chases!
its not the forward platform!
It is his f*cking sh*tt kicking!!!!!!!

Sick to death of getting 15 metres max on penalty kicks.
Sick to death of no repeat sets.
Sick to death of downtowns that are flat out being "down the roads"

f**kcked kicking is Killing us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With Kimmorleys touchfinders I sometimes wonder why we don't just take the tap when we get a penalty.

Dykes, Peachey and even Hilder all have superior boots to Noddy.

His kicking is off the boil, someone tell the bloke to stand deeper and give himself time, and let others do it.

Thank God for small mercies.

At least he's no longer the goal kicker :)

Yes a score is not worthy, but i pitty that the dosen't possess a kicking game of my own. So i give him a 2.5/10.

Should call this the I hate Kimmorley thread....If the rest of the team tried as much as he did we might go somewhere in the comp. I dont think Noddys touch finders lost us the game last night.

No you shouldn't. ALso people like you REALLY should lay off with the hate word.

They are footballers and are open slather to opinion, criticism, praise, adoration etc etc

But critics DO NOT hate people.

It's getting over the top

I think he kicked one , a long one that found the winger out of position and bounced over the side line ,in the first half I think. I dont know why he dosent give them to Dykes , I must ask him next time I see him.

i have no idea why u wouldn't go for a 40/20 everytime u had an opportunity... seriously, do footy players have brains?

i have no problems kicking them myself...so why can't a rep-quality half-back find the ability?




:cool:

It might help Noddys kicking game if we were'nt pinned inside our own 30 for 80% of our sets.

The defence has to be doing it's part to get us good field position.

There was an article in League Week which said the senior players told Noddy he plays better when he's less involved. Well if he's expected to kick on every set set to bail the team out because we defend about as good as a wet piece of tissue paper against a bullet,how is that being less involved?

If the attitude of the team is,"Don't worry we're sweet,Noddy will get us out of jail with a kick",is it any wonder were coming into the finals on a zimmer frame.

his deep kicks were deep

our problem was we got very few repeat sets because our forwards were soft and lazy

His kicking is not good at present, very good point reefy, Hilder is the only bloke in our team that has shown aptitude at kicking 40/20s, yet he is rarely given the chance to hoist em downtown at the end of sets.

Noddy is a test class halfback paid sh*tloads of $$ as one of the NRLS leading halfbacks, he was purchased to gte us repeat sets at the end of sets and he was purchased to create things in attack, that includes with his kicking game, among other things. All have been lacking lately but he;s trying his guts out, no question.

and our forward pack is paid sh*tloads of money to make yards and defend

his deep kicks...when we didnt spill the ball before the 5th...did what they were supposed to do

he didnt get a chance to put any attacking kicks in when we did get close because the ball went to dykes......

nutley was the only forward to make over one hundred metres. the other player to make over 100 was none other the god himself simmons 170 metres. if we don't lay a forward platform it wouldn,t matter if we had micheal tuck kicking 70 metre torps we would still be in a bad situation
