Garrick's goal kicking

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

Lets not forget a few weeks in isolation & not getting out much to practice his goal kicking didn’t help.Give it time he’ll be ok.

 

[BrendonStarr]

He will come good just one of those nights

That’s the one thing you would think he could’ve practiced.

 

[BrendonStarr]

His kicking was better than the performance of the Telstra Live Pass

 

[The Who]

Much better he had an off night when the points didn't matter than in a tight contest when goal kicking is crucial.

I think you persist with Garrick. Had a rough night with the boot, but DCE has been better not adding to his workload.

DES will work with garrick. That first miss got him mentally and I reckon he still needs to build the maturityto overcome it.

 

[The better Robbo]

Problem is even last year he regularly missed the easy ones. Its not just an off night, its happened a few times before. He needs to work on it cos kicking them as poorly as he did tonight just isnt good enough.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Twas shyte and cost me in super coach

Maybe he has had too much time thinking about how to kick better and practiced in a bad theory.

He'll be right.

There is nothing wrong with DCEs goal kicking. Great players want the ball in there hands, if DCE is to be a great, he needs to want to be the one taking those kicks.

Stats may prove me wrong (stats pssssh)

But he seems to have a weak spot chasm at that "off to the right about halfway to the sideline" area.

PRACTISE FROM THAT SPOT GARRICK!!!!!

(we love you)

Maybe he could chat to Jamie Lyon, he seemed to have the same problem.

Tbh I think only one shot was what you’d call a shocker, he seemed to hit them pretty well but missed.
If it happens again next week then he may get the yips and then it could be concerning.
If he kicks 4/4 then it’s all forgotten.

No offence, Stu, but shouldn't he chat to someone who didn't have that problem? 😉

 

[40 years an eagle]

It may just be an sensory alignment thing. Seemed he was striking it well enough and the ball may be going where he thinks he is aiming.
This could happen from practicing a lot and ingraining something wrong.

I had it with golf once and it wasn't easy to fix.

 

[wombatgc]

Shoot him..

That's kind of the point I was trying to make. Killer quite often missed those kicks that look easier - not in front, not out wide - and nailed the sideline ones..
Maybe he should tell the try scorers if ya can't get it under the posts, score in the corner wouldya so if I miss it doesn't look as bad.

 

[maxta]

Rather leave DCE concentrate on leading the team which is the main focus...Garrick will come good, probably only an average NRL kicker, but will have more good days than bad...

 

[Budgie]

Is a kicking coach part of the reduced staff this year or will there be no one to help him through this?

Jorge joking (I think) that Reuben said there was too much sanitizer on the balls last week @1:42

Hear what Jorge Taufua had to say ahead of this week’s clash with the Parramatta Eels

I wonder who was the first person to use the word 'verse' to mean oppose? It's suddenly entrenched in footy vernacular.
