[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 795568, member: 55747"] FB is a tricky position (albeit my favourite). Being the last person on the team generally gives you a better perspective, but that comes at a cost: you need to know how to use it. It's (relatively) easy to train high balls and kicking. I'd say positioning is the hardest trick to master. Being fast definitely helps, but being able to read the game is essential. Both in offense and defense. Things like where to insert yourself in offense, when not to, when to kick and when to counterattack, when to kick and chase, when to kick and let others chase. Takes time. FB is one of those positions where every mistake you make will be very exposed. When the FH misses a tackle, the flanker, the FB, the IC can come to the rescue. When the FB misses a tackle it generally means points on the board. Then again, you're young so i say go for it. [/QUOTE]
