I would happily put Patrick Herbert on the right wing if he didn't get a centre spot purely on his goal kicking ability. I can't understand how a team can play at the elite level without an elite goal kicker. Every other sport that has goal kicking as a point scoring mechanism has specialists, so why don't we? "Hitting them well" doesn't translate to "putting them over" ... I don't think we can sacrifice on average 6 points a game if we want to compete with the big boys.
Cam Smith kicked 84.31% in 2020 (career 75.5% from 430 games) so Bellamy’s next choice is Munster at “not too many” ... lol.
A very good article to reinforce my point: https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl...57bcbd3827973f
