[QUOTE="stormmaster1, post: 168044"] Is that a trick question? [/b][/quote] I was thinking the same as well Steve-o, beacuse regardless of the situation, a kicker with a higher percentage will kick the ball for points more frequently than the other...the name says it! "higher percentage". They will be the people who kick it over when it really counts anyway... [/b][/quote] Not neccessarily. For Leicester, Tim Stimpson didn't have that high a kicking percentage, and had some woeful matches with the boot. He once missed a conversion to tie a cup match with Richmond. We lost. But tigers never lost a match after that through his poor goal kicking. and he landed several difficult high pressure kicks, notably in HC knockout stages. similarly when Matt Dawson was kicking for England he wasn't great, but got the ones that mattered. compare that sort of kicking with Hodgeson and Barkley in the 6N a couple of seasons ago when they threw the match v France.
