I think you have to have him in the 23.

I think it's just whether he's starting or not.

Great question.

There was definitely an element of nerves.

I think when your natural shape is a draw and you're hulking them, that can be down to a bit of tension.

look, you're kicking an oval ball.

There was a bit of wind there that day.

They didn't miss by much.

Do I think he can correct it?

Absolutely.

I didn't notice anything glaringly obvious with his technique where I'm going, geez, he's not committing to these at all.

But sometimes a bit of tension there.

I remember I used to try and tell myself –

I don't care if this misses to try and free up a bit.

But it's hard to do that in a semi-final.

Yeah, and that's where when you have a game like that, some days as well with goal kicking, you can get out and you can drain everything in the warm-up and you get into the game and you just kind of can lose that feel a bit, similar to a golfer going out.

And I think for him, it will have been important in the time from the too long game to this one, what he works on in training, just focusing on ideally one, well, probably two or three things, but ideally when it gets to the game, focusing on one technical point when he's standing over a kick and having figured out in training that when he does that technical point, the likelihood of the ball going over is very, very high.

Yeah.

he has the framework there with his technique to be able to do that.

And I'm confident that he will, he will go out at the weekend and I don't think his goal kicking is going to be an issue.
