I can tell you straight it has nothing to do with coaching, injury, personal life etc etc.
It's playing habit pure and simple.
**I have been told I have a very similar playing style to benji and whilst I have tried to refine it into a more structured style, my natural ability is what always comes instinctively and yes, alot of the time it doesn't go as planned because it is instinctive and spontaneous.**
Take it from someone who is actually in his position, football-wise, he needs to never wear the number 7 again (even though today he didn't wear it), stay in the 6 and needs a dominant halfback to give him quality ball so he can use his footwork to RUN the ball..he should be stamped never to grubber or kick in play again.
lol
why lol? I'm speaking from experience, have played touch for most of my life and represented my zone, and now playing league as a five/eight, so you'd think I'd know what I'm talking about….or maybe you'd like me to finish off my paragraph and highlight that even though alot of the time it doesn't go as planned, the times that it does, ...I will opportunities out of nothing...kind of sounds familiar eh
PS. my step is more lethal than Benji's in 05...and I'm NOT trolling.
