If our club needs that explanation to get Harry’s routine correct our club is stuffed. I beloved Harry’s issue is predominately between his ears. The guy has lost all confidence and once he sprayed too many on the snap and the media and supporters applied the heat he now is second guessing himself looks lost and confused whether to snap or go the drop punt especially in that 35-50m range. I feel for him and despite being frustrated must be an awful spot with so much pressure on him every time he lines up.Shawny, just been watching his brother play for Nth. Going about as well as Harry, outmarked by smaller players who just shove him out of the way and looks about as interested in defending as Harry does in kicking for goal.
To be a successful goal kicker it helps if you have a level of arrogance, cockiness and strong belief in your ability. Anything less and you become fickle. Then if you miss the first couple early in a game nerves take over your routine which affect the outcome.
No way would I want Ben based on what I saw today.
Often with goalkicking it is the simple things that get over looked and affect kicking, Harry does run in at angles and try and drag the ball back trying to compensate for not being in line and this is why he cant kick straight drop punts at times.
What ever he has been doing and with who isnt working and he needs a new plan and a new goalkicking coach and to settle on a routine.
