NRL foward passes pale in significance to Rugby Yawnion whaich at times could be mistaken for NFL!!
I think a good ball player can pass off either front or back foot & the most importantant thing is body position.
If you are attacking direct the chances are better of getting the pass right as facing foward you have a true indication of the angle of the pass.
Travelling sideways or diagonal its far easier to misjudge the pass & the slightest poor timing from the distributer or the runner can lead to that overly flat pass.
He could also be a victim Dan of propping at the line & often a good ball player will stop or travel backwards at the defence line engaging the X defender, presenting a gap for the runner, often looking like a foward pass but is really the perfect pass.
He certainly isn't a ball player, he is so uncoordinated I reckon he would give himself a black eye every time he tried to clap.
I am a ball player and do the majority of it for the team, however as we are already in the semi finals and can't be knocked out of our position I have stepped back and let a few of the other guys have a bit more of a go so they can learn, and especially letting the girls in our team learn a bit more about football, angles and what to look for and expose.
However this guy ran 3 times from dummy half in a row and tried to throw a ball to the winger cutting out 3 players who were all flat, it wa never going to work and what made it worse was it was second tackle 10 out from our line.
He misunderstood my instruction at half time which was quite simple as we had an extra man. I told them to run to the outside of the second last defender and pass the ball to the outside of the edge defender to create a two man overlap. No idea how he misconstrued that to run to the centre of the field and throw a rainbow forward pass. He wasn't grasping the concept of creating a gap and playing to the outside, he understood outside, as "The winger" even after saying to him on the field. Don't do that, you will keep throwing it forward and there is no need to throw the cut out when we have an extra man and when you aren't throwing a flat bullet cut out you are just giving the defense time to move sideways, he still did it.
it's just hard to give him advice when he frustrates me so much and lacks coordination and skill and the ability to understand. If I don't understand the instruction clearly I ask to be shown or ask for clarification.
