[QUOTE="dundeesmiffy, post: 236181"] Long Answer; Danny Brough (Rugby league mind) is a decent tactical kicker, I'd go so far to say that he has the potential to be regarded as one of the best kickers as far as putting guys in space is concerned. I really hope he decides to switch codes one day, maybe after he's brought the Scottish Rugby team up to scratch. Chris Paterson has a short range compared to most of his peers, but he's consistent. His kicking out of hand is also poorer than others, but it's not a massive issue these days seeing has he has Phil Godman and Hugo Southwell most of the time he's on the field for both club and country. Plus he's shown he can still throw a show and go from time to time, which is a pretty useful skill to have...even at his advanced age :P. Dan Carter is a good goal and out of hand kicker, he's got his flaws but that's because he's not a cyborg...yet. Steyn has a massive boot on him, I think I can remember him landing some pretty epic touch kicks from way out, and obviously sinking drop goals from the changing room (more or less). His kicking is just one part of his repertoire, I think his skills are better used as a 12 or at fullback. 12 because he's a big lad so he can be used for crash balls and at 15 because who's going to want to risk giving away 3 points every time they miss touch? Short Answer; There is no definitive answer to this question because it is a matter of opinion. [/QUOTE]
