Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3484869, member: 9853"] What I notice most in a dummy half is how fast we look in attack, how much they drive momentum. I get antsy when every tackle feels like a mini break for everyone to catch their breath. And even more ropable when every pass finds a flat footed stationary receiver, giving away metres of heard earned advantage. A few things to watch in a dummy half: 1. Does he keep the momentum rolling. Is the opposition constantly on the back foot trying to get onside. Are we getting more 6-agains than the opposition? Or does every set involve some minor break waiting for everyone to get ready? 2. Does he tend to pass to flat footed stationary players? Do they sometimes have to jump? Or does he pass in front of runners already at full tilt? 3. Does it feel like the attacking line is continually rolling forward or does every tackle feel like a fresh restart? 4. How often does he scoot to the ball, scoop it up one handed, run past the marker and catch the opposition unaware? 5. How many times a match does he (almost) score from dummy half right on the line? 6. How often does he get lost and pass directly behind himself to a stationary player? 7. When he runs from dummy half, does it look like he's trying to set up another player or is he just meandering aimlessly? [/QUOTE]
