[QUOTE="ABs2011, post: 749508, member: 57663"] Of course. I thought however we were talking about players trying to take their man on the outside and failing. What I am saying is wingers are generally given free reign to do that, if it doesn't come off, then so be it. When centres do it and fail, it is generally considered a mistake. Hence (one of the reasons) why decision making at centre is a significantly more important skill than on the wing and you tend to have very smart guys playing that position. i.e. Conrad Smith who very rarely runs his outside backs out of room or passes to a guy in a worse position than himself.. No, Savea couldn't/shouldnt have come inside in that particular instance. Look at the replay, he had one guy right on him, and 2 more in cover. His best shot was to beat the first guy THEN perhaps come inside. As it turns out he couldn't beat the first man but that is not a mistake IMO. Also, in that position you don't give it to Savea to kick. If you wanted someone to kick then you should be blaming the insides who passed it. [/QUOTE]
