@Harry was telling me the other week they should all share .
Switch sides in attack and anyone can kick the ball at any time if they feel so inclined .

Kinda like a hot desk office . LOL .

You honestly have the comprehension skills of a toddler.

This isn't even close to what I was saying. What I said was that there was no need to rely so heavily or exclusively on Reynolds as the last tackle option since the team had so many kickers.

That's an indisputable fact that anyone with 2 brain cells could comprehend. More flexibility means more ability to attack from anywhere on the field on the 4th and the ability for Reynolds to take on the line and die with the ball since he doesn't have to be the sole kicking option on the last, not that anyone can just play anywhere and boot it whenever they feel like it.
 
Considering how many kickers we do have, we absolutely should do a better job of utilising them. There's no reason any of our kickers should be isolated and easy to pick off with kick pressure, but just last week we ended up kicking out on the full due to kick pressure, and Haas kicking on 5th.

Hunt and Walters can kick from dummy half, Walsh can kick left side, Reyno can kick right side, and inside 20 you add Ezra to that too.

Its an area that needs to be improved, and we need to do a better job utilising this as a strength.
 
Walshes kicking game reminds me of Isaakos.

Can hit them sweet, but jeez get ready for a Barry Crocker every game.
 
Walsh is definitely our longest kick now I'd say, so it'd be beneficial for him to get more reps kicking, and if we can do it without him copping kick pressure we hopefully limit the sprays out on the full. Much like his general play at times, probably just needs to pick his 40/20 attempts better. Kicking a 40/20 isn't easy by any stretch, but kicking one under immediate kick pressure is rarely seen. Just hit the grass safely in a corner or put it high enough for chasers to get there. It's an area he can easily simplify.

To best do this, we need Reyno setup in a good area as an option too, and the markers to be worried about our dummy half possibly kicking.

All this talk of us losing / not knowing our identity, I think its a fair point. Are we Walsh's team now or are we Reynolds'? It looks like they don't know either. Maguire needs to make it clear.

If it is Walsh's team now, we might have to just get used to high octane, high risk footy. If it is till Reynolds team, we need to accept that we won't go well in high pressure situations because he doesn't go well in high pressure situations.

I would make it Walsh's team but not until preseason. Changing your fulcrum 4-5 weeks out of finals might be problematic. But we can tweak it, give Walsh the reigns at clear points or clear triggers.

I think it was Reynolds' team but it has switched to Walsh's team... the swing to Walsh being dominant was too sudden though.

Whilst Reynolds is there he should be calling the shots.

Maybe give Walsh the ability to overcall when we get into the opposition's 40m, but before that it's Reynolds

Flip that around .
To many voices calling for the ball .

Reynolds is paid to do his job . If he can`t let`s job share on the hot desk . LOL .

They're not calling for the ball, they're putting themselves in position to kick if Reynolds is unable to, or getting heavily pressured, or is on the opposite side of the field, or another player is in a better position / situation. They're providing flexibility and options.

Having multiple kicking options can only be a good thing, not a bad thing.

Others kicking in general play isn't a sign of Reynolds not doing his job.

Very little of what you say ever makes much sense or is of any value, but this is especially dense, even for you.
 
What's happened to Piaks? None of the posts I've seen actually say why he is out
 
Keen to see Talty run again, Piaks must’ve hit his head again for the 34th time.
