HB Request - Name me some unique goal kickers

Quade Cooper
Jonny Wilkinson
I think they are the two most unique goal kickers i can think of.
 
Definitely Agree, Quade Cooper has one of the most unique styles i've seen. His step is one of a kind too.
So many to look at closely though.

Good to hear your a Reds fan :)
 
Ronan O'Gara's kicking the ground before the shot, but he does it differently every time. Rugby08 had great player animation for the kickers, but just one for each kicker. It would be great to see the kickers in slightly different stances. Because I don't see Carter's ritual with the steps and long breath when kicking a 15m central position.
 
London Wasps's Eliot Daly - like a soccer kick, few steps but big results
 
garner every prime professional outfit's number 1 fly half, so it's easy to get footage of the kicking style and just quickly mutate the basic kick to fit each kicker's style for every teams kicker within the net of prime pro leagues. Just to help with what I mean, Aviva Prem, Magners, Super 15, Currie Cup, ITM Cup, Top 14 and your done :)
 
Oh it's because these leagues are the most publicised leagues around in rugby, Australia's in dire need for a high profile pro league, and georgia, russia, japan's pro leagues are almost unheard of from most rugby nations so leave them out for the current releases I guess!
 
Stephen Jones
Wilkinson
Flood (wannabe Wilky ;)
DAN CARTER
Quade Cooper
James O'Connor (the whole gumshield thing?)
Morne Steyn

Just a few suggestions ;)
 
Sorry if I'm repeating anyone here, not gonna read every previous post -
Charlie Hodgson - take a step, chill on it then continue
Dan Carter - Step round the ball
James O'Connor - two arms straight out, one leg in front of the other and run straight up to the ball
Olly Barkley - One step and strokes the ball
James Hook - Lanky long strides
Stephen Jones - three medium sized steps two hands apart in front of him palms down, stays fairly bent over, moves his hands up and down
Wilko - Squat, praying hands
Ben Blair - Runs straight at the ball
Jonny Sexton - Pulls mud off boots, hands together
Dan Parks - rocks back and forth on his two feet, one in front of the other
Chris Paterson - Left arm goes above his head in a big wave
 
Danny Cipriani
Toby Flood
Mirco Bergamasco
Johnny Wilkinson
Dan Carter
Olly Barkley
Ronan O'gara

I know some of these have been mentioned before but i'm just backing up people's points : )
 
Johnny Sexton. he has a weird, Irish School boy style kick...
Ronan O'Gara, he like kicks the ground before he balances himself.
the Percy Montgomery shuffle.
The Wilkinson squat.
The Cooper twist.

Henson
Wilkinson
Steven Jones (straight run up kick)
