Lost art of being a Centre.

[Vee]

Like Crighton just then for Penrith. Makes a break and passes way too early rather than commit the defender and make sure the winger is clear.

It amazes me this keeps happening practically every game. Surely coaches can see this and should be addressing it, but it continues week after week.

That came after two poorly executed forward passes earlier. And the fox team were fapping each other about him.

Hopefully Latrell Mitchell hasn’t forgotten the art of being a centre.

And I get the game is changed now from back when a Centre was more of an attacking weapon, but there is still a call for the skill to draw a defender and put the winger away.

I frequently see half chances squandered simply because the Centre, as soon as he gets the ball just shovels it to the winger rather than holding it, drawing the opposing winger and then passing.

It's not like these attacking chances don't exist, just accepted that the Centre isn't expected to do anything but pass to winger.

Will Chambers drove me nuts for this (cost us the GF!), thankfully we tended to try and avoid giving him the ball towards the end of his time at the Storm!
