Thought the same thing at the time and I think he would have had it been any other player but I reckon he was trying to show him a bit of faith and build his confidence up. From memory his kicking technique isn't bad , the nerves get to him.And just on that first shot at goal... Why didn't Jack demand Hammer handball it to him? Riewoldt would've been able to screw it around his body easily, and the Saints defenders weren't checking him at all.
