Early Season Goal-kicking woes ...

Watching Luke Kelly kick goals from all-over the park for Wenty in the past few games makes me wonder why he wasn't kicking goals in first grade in the first few rounds ahead of Corey Norman and Joseph Paulo???

I can see that Round 3 loss to Manly (on the back of dud goal-kicking) coming back to bite us on the behind later in the season ....

  • Bring back Luke Kelly lol
  • I am so glad he didn't get the chance to kick goals earlier in the season because it may have kept him in 1st grade longer.
  • Anyone got a flux capacitor?
  • Lets not forget the tigers match. Definetly lost that to goal kicking as well.

  • You guys are missing my point - Im very glad Chris Sandow is back wearing No.7 in 1st grade ahead of Luke Kelly.

    Im simply saying on the evidence in NSW Cup he would have been a much better goalkicking option than Norman or Paulo in rounds 1-to-3, and we in all likelihood would be now on 14 points, not 12.

    • And you are missing ours. Had Kelly kicked goals early on he may still be in the team and I'm confident we wouldn't be 6 and 4 after 10 rounds had that been the case. We have had a fantastic start to the season and there is no use thinking about what ifs.
    • Would we have had the opportunity to kick goals if Kelly remained in the team?

      Assuming we had scored the same number of tries with Kelly at 7, your theory might hold water. Personally, I doubt we would have scored as many points.

  • A few weeks back when Wenty played Wyong, Kelly landed 6/6 all from the sideline in terrential rain. Very glad that sandow is the 7 but seriously how oblivious is our club not to realise that Kelly is an accomplished goal kicker and rather using players who kick and hope Paulo and Norman.
    I blame Kelly for not Demanding the ball and saying il line them up,
    Once again another example in showing that Luke Kelly cannot demand and over rule a play like good half backs should
    • Yep nailed it again Raid.
      Kelly isn't a half backs arsehole.
      Best thing that ever happened to the side when he lost the #7 jersey.
