Quote: tenerifeRhino "Its not just about athletic ability.
It also includes handling skills, passing skill, offensive awareness, offloading, having the skill to turn in the tackle to find the offload, support play, being able to see the space in the defensive line to break.
This is where the league boys are head and shoulders still even against the specialist England seven players'"
Which is pretty much what I meant when I said they would change the game is played. Out of curiosity, what is the difference between ‘handling skills’ and ‘passing skill’? Or , ‘offensive awareness’ and ‘being able to see the space in the defensive line to break’? Or for that matter, ‘offloading’ and ‘having the skill to turn in the tackle to find the offload’?
