Plenty in 2004, 2005, and 2006 as well. For some reason this facet of his game is always underrated. |

Dunno not counted them, look at the last 5/6 years and Horney has always kicked well near the line and set up tries for us.
Judging by the other responses on here other people would agree. |

I wasn't disputing your observation, just asking how many, I don't really recall Horne having much of a kicking game, yes the odd grubber on the 5th but that's only to be expected, isnt it? |

| Quote Mrs Barista="Mrs Barista"Agree particularly on Long. Looks like he's taken it upon himself to control the whole on-pitch operation. The kicking game we've been missing.
Posted lots already on the positives, but was a bit disappointed with Tickle, Cusack and Houghton today, and think Lauaki looked a bit weak defensively in parts.
Also agree about Newton for them. A real cheap shot merchant and looks to have started where he finished last season. He'll use his elbow in many teams' sides this season.'"

If that were even remotely true, then why are we playing 4 out of 5 away from home?
PS Cockayne only out for 2 weeks, I'm sure you are disappointed that he didn't sustain a more serious injury. |

and yet they still turned out to support one of your players in his testimonial when they could have played a team and earnt money from it... lets not let facts get in the way of a good yarn tho'....  |

Positives:
- Improved (and legal) aggression in the pack.
- Clear signs of more organisation with Long in the side, which I thought increased as the game went on. I've seen/heard comments that he went missing in the 2nd half, but personally although he wasn't as directly involved with his hands on the ball I still thought his influence was noticeable verbally.
- Long also added some improved kicking.
- As the game went on, we actually started to play some rugby.
_ As well as looking a bigger side, we also look quicker.
Negatives:
- I still think our spelling of players needs improving, we leave some on too long. Me and my Dad picked out Manu for this going into half time and sure enough he missed Newton 5 minutes into the 2d half with a lazy arm for a try.
- Still a lingering bad habit of 1-man stuff, but hopefully that will continue to fade away as it did during the game.
- Lauaki's tackling needs work IMO.
- Houghton decision making needs a lot of work IMO.
Overall, the positives outweighed the negatives for me, but it was reassuring rather than exciting.

 Took them 15 mins to get in to it but when they did was looking good Lauaki's tackling needs a lot off work was expecting more from him will be targeted if not sorted |

Agreed. Loaki was slow, Lang needs a haircut and don't even get me started on Howtone! |
