Schneider or Gwilt. Dempster's probably the best right-footer.

Definitely Schneider. Siposs, Fisher and Joey would be up there. Gwilt's kicking hasn't been the same since the ACL

Great question.
There are a few good kicks but kicking in traffic and under pressure has to be Schneider for me.

This is one reason why we are in trouble over the next couple of years.....

Roo 25 out is our best kick.

Hawks strenth was accurate kicking

Our kicking is generally horrific.

We give the ball away and give up hard work time and time again with poor kicking.

As a shot for goal, I think Lee is probably our best.


Rugby League would have to be the stupidest, most moronic and over rated game of all time.

Unless he is on the run with no pressure.

Tom Lee is a very good kick. Before this year I would have said Siposs, but his accuracy seemed to fall away this year

Jack Newnes.

Saw him kick it too Roo from the boundary while on the run and in heavy traffic and it was lace out on the chest and Roo kicked an easy goal. Newnes had to take a bump a split second after he kicked it and he showed good poise. Not sure what he's like on his non-preferred, but otherwise Newnes is coming on brilliantly.

I agree, and there are at least a couple more on here who recognise it too.

I agree he is a good kick. Problem is similar to Saad's though. He gets about 3 kicks a game.

Hayes for mine, why have so many overlooked our perennial champ?

He was forced to change his set shot routine and that may have played on his mind a bit earlier this year.

His problem isn't his kicking...he's just as good on the run as he is with set shots....Saad's issue (when and if he palys again) is that he doesn't get clean possessions and fumbles a lot...maybe a confidence thing
