| I used to play a lot at hooker and the decision to scoot would be due to a few reasons. A collision win and quick play the ball, markers not set, the size of the markers (big guys couldnt get me even if they were set) and if there was only 1 marker (dummy one way, go the other)
My passing off the floor used to be pretty good, so i didnt normally take a couple of steps, but the times i did, where if i needed to engage the markers, so step out of dummy half, make the marker attempt the tackle on me, then pop the pass to a player on the run

| Apologies if its stating the obvious but:
Ask your coach and find out what they're expecting of you.
Its all very well running from dummy half, but if you're the best ball distributor then any gain you might from running make could be negated on the next PTB.

If you have an easily readable hooker just willing to pass it to one of the two props running off tackle one. Its not long before they all have big red crosses on them .'" Did Stevo tell you that?

| Quote: headhunter "That stuff is not important, this guy is not playing in the NRL. The main thing is just for him to get the ball quickly and efficiently to where it needs to go. There's nothing more frustrating than when an inexperienced hooker is messing about trying to do fancy stuff and ends up killing the attack because nobody else can get their hands on the ball. Just distribute efficiently and understand where to work to on the field in order to set up an attacking position for the halfback. He should be telling you if he's any good.'"
That's light years from NRL stuff. It's basic open age play. As Bobby says, you have to mix it up so as to keep you're opposition guessing.

| Thanks for all the replies, really helpful.
I just try and mix it up when I can, so long pass from the floor and then once every set or so I'll take a few steps and then pass it on.
Is that basically the gist of it, do a bit of both to keep them guessing? Obviously if one marker is left on the floor I'll run

If you're playing in a team where the gameplan is for the props to take the first two carries and then pass it to the halfback on the third then it's very basic indeed.
