Living in the demountable.
SEA Eagles playmaker Daly Cherry-Evans says he is ready to start practising and take on the pressure role of goalkicker in Saturday’s crucial game with the Raiders in Albury.
With skipper Jamie Lyon certain to miss the game as he recovers from a groin injury and doubts over the fitness of centre Steve Matai, goalkicking is again an issue for the Sea Eagles.
“I haven’t practised obviously which is a shame,” Cherry-Evans said.
“In the past two weeks we have been in the position where we have needed second and third string goalkickers.
“Whoever is kicking goals this week I’ve got no doubt they will put in a lot of practice.
“We’ll wait and see who that is.”
Asked if would be honing his skills this week Cherry-Evans replied: “I daresay I’ll have to start practising with Jamie out and people set to return or miss gams we obviously have to find a goalkicker.
“And if that is me I’ll start to practice that for sure.”
Cherry-Evans said it was job that he didn’t mind at all.
“It’s obviously not ideal when you haven’t practised and you get it sprung on you,” he said.
“With that being said if it’s something I’m going to continue to do I’ll make sure I practice for it.”
The Sea Eagles head into the game battling a heavy injury toll but the star halfback said the team said the current situation was nothing new.
“It’s not a standout, I think we have had tough times like this before,” he said.
“Possibly we’ve just been at better spot on the ladder which has resulted in less media attention.
“More often than not this club will usually fight through the tough times and hopefully this weekend is no different.”
