Beat the flying defender (Human vs human).

If your first five is getting smashed as soon as he has the ball by someone using the flying defender.

When you pass the ball to your first five and you see your opponent winding up to hospitalise you with the flying defender.....

.....before your first five recieves the pass from the halfback "hold down" the pass button.  It will be a hot potato pass but more specifically a "missout" hot potato pass....so you will miss out a player. 

Then before the missout pass reaches its target do another "normal" hot potato pass depending on whether there is room to move on the outside...or if there is no gap....do the hot potato pass back on the inside.  If you do the hot potato pass on the outside there is normally a VERY big gap to angle into.  If you do a hot potato pass back inside then immediately activate the sidestep to get immediate go forward as your inside receiver will unfortunately be recieving the ball standing still.  When you do activate the sidestep from a standing start then most times you will accelerate into space. :bravo:

This move only works on people who really try and hospitalise you with their flying defence.  If they do not fly up 100% but hang back just a little then they will read your move and go to tackle the second pass.  If they do rush but hang back just that little bit then simply play normally as they will be marking the second reciever if you do a hot potato especially if it is a miss pass.

Also the timing of it requires very quick decision making whether to throw the ball back out or back in.

However mastering it will make sure that those who try and rush you all the time will start to treat you with respect as they will be shown up with the big midfeild gap all the time, and I mean a BIG midfield gap you will be exploiting.  If they start to mark up the missout hot potato pass then adjust by simply running instead of passing straight with your first five into the gap that maybe just outside the ruck where the ball originally came from.
