1/5 only one kick from 5 against Hull very worrying could be another Achilles heal for us this season?

I must admit I've been thinking the same all day just didn't want to admit it and start this thread but it is a serious worry, maybe him and Percy could share the kicking he did well when he covered kicking when Coote was injured, but we do need to be thinking about a sure fire kicker for next season I fear its to late for this one, we are just going to have to go with what we have or win on tries alone.
Or tell Percival to have a word with himself as he's a highly paid professional.
He kicked them from everywhere last week so hopefully he can get back to that.
I'm not a stat man but over the season he's been pretty consistent I suspect.
Percival is a much poorer kicker.
Danny Richardson is our best kicker but need to factor in other aspects of his performance.
For me Coote is the best bet.
Better kickers than Coote have missed easier kicks at Wembley. Yes he had a bad night with the boot last night but as mentioned in this thread he has had nights when he hardly missed at all. If the other players don't want to kick then barring playing Richardson he's our kicker and we have to get used to it.
I always thought it was a strange decision by Holbrook to make Coote our kicker when he isn't one.
Coote in his 10 years in the NRL has only kicked 10 goals, Coote in the 1 year in Superleague has kicked 105 goals yet is the 2nd best kicker in super league mainly because we have scored an enormous amount of try's.
I didn’t go to Hull last night but having seen the highlights it is clear that 4 of the 5 kicks were from the touchline so it seems a bit harsh to criticise Coote too much. Match Centre suggested he wasn’t far off with the missed attempts although if anyone who went thinks that his efforts were poor that’s probably a better insight. On the basis of the evidence last week, however, and his kicking prior to Wembley, I’d rather Coote have the responsibility as I think he’s better than Percival and much less likely to be put off his general game if he misses.
