The adage that this season will be the closest ever has probably never been truer. Last year 18% of games were won by 2 points or less, the highest percentage ever.
With this in mind a decent goal kicker has never been more important. So who will kick for Parra this year? Semi looked likely last year but I have doubts that Semi will even play this year after his court case. Gutherson kicked in his younger days but was never a gun goal kicker. So what other player is likely? Whoever it is they need to kick at around 80% for our team to remain competitive.
Note: I was hoping that BA would buy Jackson Hastings to use as hooker and as backup half if needed and he kicks at 84%.

Some people will say this doesn't matter - "Let's worry about scoring tries first" I've read on here. I bet those people won't be so flippant if we start losing games through goal kicking opportunities not being converted. Your concern is valid Glenn, St George pretty much won a premiership on taking the two at every single available opportunity and having a reliable kicker.
The only recognized goal kicker at Parramatta is Fogarty, who needs
a season in Wenty before he gets his chance.
Goal kicking will definitely cost us games.
Guth or Semi will probably kick 60 - 65 %.
I'd be surprised if we kicked over 70%.
I would say that Taka and Normie will be in the calculations
