Let's get Reynolds from Souths to play 5/8 with Cooper and then move Reynolds into 7 to replace Coops in 3 years.

Reynolds can replace Cammy as kicker

To be honest, if I didn't check the stats first, I probably would have agreed with you. It is hard to make an objective opinion on a thing like goal kicking when you ride the wave of emotion with only one player.

Whilst Cam is not the best kicker around, he's not completely terrible either. I think JT is amazing but when you work it out, JT only kicks 1 extra goal over Cam for every 20 attempts.

I think what makes it more obvious with Cam, is that he seems to miss goals in clumps... It is particularly noticeable and memorable when he does it in important finals games (which has happened on a number of occasions).

Congratulations Cammy on becoming the highest point scoring forward ever. You are an absolute legend.

While I'm glad Cam had a good night with the boot last night, I hope this incosistency of good weeks and shockers doesn't continue at this time of year. Please focus on practicing at training Cam, otherwise this year needs to be your last as our designated goal kicker.

I don't know what's happened to him, Corey Parker used to be one of the most reliable goal kickers.
