i know you think he has all this ability...thats why i said we disagree, im not saying he couldn't have got there...in fact i have said i think we should have kept him because i think he may have...but i dont see what you see in his current game....ive done some spectacular offloads in my time and more than the odd tidy grubber...dont make me nonu
Amazed you can't see the top all-round skills he has... not much point continuing this topic, as we're just going around in circles.
One-handed offloads look spectacular, in reality though they're pretty easy to execute, it's just a flick of the wrist out of the back of the hand, all the college teams are doing it too, it's become a pretty common pass these days.
Backs tend to make a bit of a mess of executing grubbers, as said before they tend to kick it directly into a player, instead of looking to grubber the ball between the players, also about the touch off your boot to get the weight right.
When players chase grubbers they've executed downfield close to the side line they hope the ball stays in to give them a chance to score a try, sometimes the ball rolls over the sideline though & the opportunity is gone... doesn't have to be the case, if you're right footed & on the right flank you strike the ball with the inside of your right foot, so when the ball hits the deck it will diverts to the left infield.
Again using your right foot & you're on the left flank, you strike the ball with the outside of your right foot so when the ball hits the deck it diverts to the right infield, vice-versa when kicking with your left foot.
