I really don't believe you can turn yourself around and become a great kicker in a short period of time with such limited experience, there are kickers 10's/15's etc that have been kicking goals since they first pulled on the boots and still struggle,remember Stewart was not designated kicker at school, U18, colts at Bond or u20's so to be thrusted into a position like that was really poor coaching or BT had no other choice, I can tell you that I watched Hamish take a few lessons from Dave Alred (Johnny Wilkinson kicking coach) & he just couldn't quite get the hang of it.. so this is where the believe having some like QC (Quade Cooper) hanging around training would have been beneficial.
BUT kicking conversions is an art involving both skill and a calm relaxed and a focused mind. Stewart is a good kicker. However he MUST do some mental exercise to shake off the tension as he is naturally an aggressive footballer(same as Lance), They bring that tension to kicking and imo they appear to NOT have a way of shaking that tension and built up pressure (from game situation and crowd). The perculiar behaviour of good goal kickers is not a foreign thing but a proven psychological element for success as goal kickers. Farrell the English sharp shooter has a very unique and weird ritual. I think Wilkinson started this whole ritual to shake off the tension before releasing the energy thru the ball to the centre of the goal posts. . .
