Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2665210, member: 8215"] On that, well technically Milford IS running. He made twice as many runs as Hunt. An argument might be that he is better running from fullback but IIRC the vast majority of things he did last year were from like darting out of dummy half or coming in as an extra number, both of which he can still do as five-eighth, the difference being that he had more freedom to choose his runs from fullback. Right now though, he's testing the waters - deliberately running to the line and taking the tackles. Getting a proper feel for it. Once he can do that with confidence, I'll expect he'll be popping balls very late, or teams will expect him to run and commit defenders and he'll be able to pass out the back for an overlap. Or, as we're all hoping to see, he starts passing at the line early in games, meaning defenders will be putting numbers on his support, giving him enough space to break the line himself. There's so much variation as to what options to take as a running half, it doesn't just click overnight. But the other variations, like choice of footwork, how to hold the ball in your hands, where you're looking, the lines that your support runs, a lot of that is vision that he clearly has, proven from last year. It'll work. [/QUOTE]
