Speed isn't all in the legs

Speed of ball movement comes with skill and awareness and with having players working hard (not necessarily fast) off the ball to create options.

If you KNOW there is always a target who has made themselves ready to receive the whole perception of speed is there. On the other hand the fastest player who has nobody prepared to receive will always look slow.

Would you rather Sam Blease or Diesel Williams: leg speed or quick precise thinking?

Obviously you would take Diesel, but it is about team balance. The question we face is if we have the balance right. Personally, I think we still desperately lack some pace and class and that we need a number of Stretch, Watts, Kennedy, Kennedy-Harris and Hunt to come on.

Definitely need a couple of speedy receivers that can have the ball delivered to them from the stoppages courtesy of the brute boys. I keep thinking of some of those centre clearances when Jeff Garlett got on the end of one and ran it out of the middle.

Time for a new avatar Leuco.
