Who’s the Super Rugby Dead-Eye Dick?

Matt Rowley May 1, 2012 13

No GravatarIf you had to wager your life on a kick, who would you want stroking it over? International kicking savant Morne Steyn, or Waratah wetback, Brendan McKibbin?  

Well, by the stats this year it’s gotta be the kilted Tah, which may well be a good reason why Pretorius BIG is riding the pine.

Other notables? How about Mikey Mike Harris, who’s dropped 25 points this season? “My sides, they’re splitting” James O’Connor by contrast isn’t doing so shabbily on 84%.

Some notable big names without the runs on the board – what will this mean come Test time?

    I love McKibbin’s whole process too. He just steps up slots it through and joggs off before he’s even seen it go all the way through.

    No farking about just kicks em…great stuff

    • baz

        Good to hear there are clear reasons

    Butch won’t be able to add to that for a couple of weeks while he rides a suit. Deservedly so, I’d have thought with his record of forgetting what exists between fingers and shoulders it would have been longer.

    • Mart

      True, they dug deep with Digby’s record. No doubt no arms Butch would have a massive one

    I can understand starting McKibbon, especially with Berrick avoiding conversions due to his dicky groin.

    But why not give Sarel a wing spot – he’s quite accomplished in that position, and certainly more of a threat than Betham.

    • Pedro

      Agree, what a waste of talent.

  • mw

    I can’t see Berrick on the list. How are his stats? Or doesn’t he qualify?

    • drop kick

      He’s only kicked when McKibbon is off the field, but memory says he’s kicked them all.

      Barnes has only have 5 shots – which is why he didn’t make it on. I only put on the top 20 which is those with 20 kicks or more. He’s got 4 of them though – 80%

  • the realist

    Carter for my life

    • Touko

      Yeah, he’s a good looking boy for sure.

  • chasmac

    Good to see Lilo is up there. Adds some options if he ends up in the wallabies.
