Quote Fordy="Fordy"I know it's easier to see from sitting in the stands but I said at the time he should have just pulled up slightly and come back inside Owen. The pace Owen was coming at to close him down then he would never have adjusted if Ben had just stepped inside. As it turned out didn't make a difference in this game but there will be games where it does.
I like Ben and he would win MOTM on sheer effort alone most weeks but this week there were better players.'"
I agree. Strange as well because my normal criticism of Ben is he cuts in too often when the direct approach would be better - oh well.
However my real issue is that most players land the ball before their bodies, where as Ben lands his body first and then tries to ground it. For me without being overly critical this is poor execution and costs him a few tries.
