[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 996838, member: 13739"] I don't think it matters that you're not quick and flashy. The core roles of a 10 are basically exactly what you've said are your strengths. Being vocal and controlling a game will get you a long way. However there is always space for improvement. There's not much you can do to magically add speed or agility, but passing and decision making in attack are certainly things that can be worked on. Can you alter or vary how flat you play to the gain line? George Ford is excellent at making last second decisions whilst playing flat. This brings those around him into the game and forces the defense to make decisions. A player like Stephen Jones (ex Wales and Scarlets 10) could be good to study. He certainly wasn't athletically gifted, but obviously worked hard to become a fine player in sides that played exciting running rugby. [/QUOTE]
