then why bother passing???

Why bother taking the tackle? There's a time and place for both, and the players are the ones who decide that at the time. Some passes are riskier than others and so there is a risk management calculation made every time a player has the opportunity to pass the ball. The opportunity to create a line break vs the risk of turning over possession. It's not as cut and dried for the player as it appears from the stands or on TV. If a centre passes to his winger will he definitely break the line? What if he drops the pass? What if he catches it but gets pushed into touch? At least if Penisini dummies and takes the tackle he could play the ball quickly and Moses gets it on the next tackle with time against a defensive line in disarray.

He’s a professional footballer. He has one job. He has to learn how to put away his winger if he’s playing centre.

Centres have plenty of jobs and passing the ball is one of the least important. Running and (especially) tackling are a centre's bread and butter. If he passes well it's a bonus. Passing is a skill that is far more important for spine players than outside backs. Definitely an advantage for centres (and wingers) but less important than the ability to win in one-on-one situations (attack or defence) or otherwise contribute to yardage.

Two on one actually. Ideally he doesn't want to throw a hospital pass to a teammate who is close to the sideline.

Do you think JAC was going to beat Saab for speed?

One of the purposes of slide defence is to lure the attackers into passing themselves out of room.

We can offer him something they can't, an apprenticeship under one of the best halves in the game.

Recent history suggests it might not be high on his priorities

 

[Tiger5150]

From what I have seen is Kautoga is the overlap killer. The amount of times we spread the ball he gets it and then either holds onto the ball or when he does he throws a stupid pass like that one where the fox had to catch it on the touchline.

just a frustrating player to watch.

Ive loved watching him the last two years

Yes, it’s a shame that we didn’t get to see that contest.

It was very high on his priorities until he got bullied out of there because that half wanted his position.

Poor little Lachie. Won't be at the club when the shared dream of so many Tigers juniors is fulfilled; namely to be both alive and a part of the club then the Tigers play a finals game.

Iongi is our buggest ball hog imo, so many chances to pass yet goes himself

one thing to be confident in your own ability, another thing to be selfish and play for yourself instead of the team

Depends on what you mean by “passing”. If you mean putting players into holes then sure. It’s not a very important skill for centres. If you mean knowing how to set up your winger then it’s absolutely an essential skill. Otherwise you might as well just play on the wing.
