I think we are one of the poorest, if not the poorest when it comes to kicking.
For starters we only have 1 "specialist" kicker that being Moses. Mahoney and Guth might kick here or there but they are far from being considered options.
Good kickers can potentially get the team our of trouble with a deep sideline kick. Moses can't do this. All he does kick hail mary's hoping the full back will drop the ball and most of the time they are without pressure midfield bombs landing on the opposition 20.
I don't see this issue being addressed whatsoever.
If someone can find the kicked metres I'm sure we're be bottom of the list.
If we're just gonna wait until Dylan Brown is good, then that's no good at all and we'll continue to lose the metres kicked tussle.
Due to Moses being our only option, he has constant pressure with opposition players running hard at just him once the ball is played.

Mahoney isn’t kicking near enough. We don’t have a proper 6. Moses does his best and has to do the kicking by himself.
Oppositions know this and only have to rush one player, every time.
No wonder our 5th tackle options suck.
Also, our forwards have been getting owned placing even more pressure on Moses.
A massive fail for all of these reasons.
It's all fair weather until you get found out and we have been found out.
1) Poor middle 3rd defence
2) Out-wrestled in the ruck
3) Only 1 kicking option
These issues need to be addressed ASAP if to have any hope of making the 8.
Exactly. Everyone knows Moses does everything so they focus on him.
Moses has a lot of improvement left in him, he started the year on fire and in control but playing in a team like this has already set him back a year. How can we have been relying on a 18 year old half to have a solid kicking game to partner him. Big gamble and now he is injured.
real stupid stuff.
I just found our playbook and went to the section titled "last tackle options" - it said:
1. Hoist and old-school bomb (non-spiral, non-floating) that is easy to catch and don't chase, ragardless of position on the field.
2. Refer 1.
