Madigan is terrible at kicking from hand. He's worse at it than PJ.

Madigan is a better kicker in that Madigan kicks longer and into space thus defenders have less time to angle their kick return .

Madigan runs laterally more often before passing denying players outside him space and his passes are not well timed .
Keatley is a poor mans Madigan and was released by Leinster because they had Sexton and Madigan who if he was a rounded out half would be the out half of choice at Leinster .

I believe everyone should unblock Rum'n, look he is trying complete sentences punctuation and all plus a new feature, paragraphs.

Whilst not everyone may agree with the content, it is clearly intelligible.

Many an out half has had a kicking but there are out halves who are better kickers of the ball and there are those who can inspire the players outside by a well timed pass . RoG was a kicking out half who ensure the forwards were playing in the opposition half . Unfortunately Paddy's kicking does not give that assurance but he is the best timer of a pass to supporting players .

Goal kicking will come into the equation too surely? Paddy's never inspires me with confidence. I'm saying it through gritted teeth but Mads is more consistent in that area.

Funny, I always think that Mads kicks well with Leinster but when he plays for Ireland his kicking does not look that great.
