Jamal Fogarty's hard work honing his kicking game is paying off with the in-form playmaker putting the competition on notice.
It was Round 11 against Parramatta when Fogarty first saw his hard-work pay off with his kicks creating opportunities to break the opposition's defence open, successfully setting up outside backs Seb Kris and Matt Timoko off last-tackle punts.
“It was the Parramatta game early in the year where I sort of realised how much of an impact I could have on the game with my kicks,” he said. “I thought myself and Jacko got our team into some good field position and just little areas of the game where we kept pushing them down into their half. “That’s something I need to base my game off, say it’s 12-12 and my kicking game really needs to stand up to put under teams under pressure.”
But with 10 rounds to go of the regular season and the Raiders known to never make life easy for themselves, Fogarty is refusing to become complacent with the evolution of his game management and the Raiders’ position on the ladder.
