Whatever happens to South Sydney against Manly on Friday night, coach Jason Demetriou can promise one thing.
They won't be fluffing their shots at field goal again.
The Rabbitohs' failure to get a proper shot away against Wests Tigers last Saturday has been one of the focuses of the week at Redfern.
Players have looked closely at their inability to execute late, with Taane Milne coughing up the ball once and Jai Arrow getting away a rushed shot after rookie half Lachlan Ilias was set but passed.
There is a fair argument that wouldn't have happened last year with Adam Reynolds at the helm.
It was notable that at the end of Rabbitohs training sessions earlier this week, field goals were the last things attempted.
Even Arrow was seen putting them over.
But the Bunnies are adamant the ball will not end up in his hands again on the last play, confident they can get Ilias into position for the one-pointer.
"That's experience. You can't get experience without being out there in the middle," Demetriou said.
"We know he's a right-foot kicker. We know we need to get him on the left post.
"We've got a process for it now so there'll be no excuses from the players.
"I'm confident if we get ourselves in that position again, we'll handle it quite different."
What South Sydney also know as well as anyone is that they can't give Manly multiple chances of icing the game.
In Daly Cherry-Evans the Sea Eagles have the best field goal kicker in the game, with his 23 the most of any current player.
In fact, the only man to out-gun Cherry-Evans in a field goal shootout the last four seasons was wearing a Rabbitohs jumper at the time.
It was Reynolds in 2019, and unfortunately for South Sydney he isn't anymore.
That game aside, Manly are six from six when it comes to field goal shootouts since the start of 2019.
It's also no secret that Cherry-Evans could be the difference on Friday night.
He has kicked superbly in 2022 general play, with his boot alone keeping Manly in matches in the past month with Tom Trbojevic out.
The Sea Eagles should get some attacking spark back, with Josh Schuster available for selection in the back row.
South Sydney's attack meanwhile is showing signs of starting to click with Ilias and Cody Walker in the halves despite the team's poor completion rates, with Walker feeling back like his old self.
"I'd like to see (Ilias) and Cody play together a bit more," Demetriou said.
"Get their hands on the footy a bit more than we have over the last couple of weeks.
"But in saying that, we've got to hold the ball, then those guys can come into the game."
