I don't necessarily want to move Milford after one round, but I also don't want Milford to continue playing five-eighth like the way he did the other night. What I mean by that is he needs to play with a mentality of running first and passing second.
He needs to be using his pace and footwork to create opportunities such as two-on-one plays rather than trying to create those same attacking opportunities with his passing game. The other night he was too often just shovelling the ball either side of him without actually straightening the attack. We ended up just going sideways and that is extremely easy to defend when all the passing is happening so far away from the opposition defensive line. All the defence has to do is slide across and number up on their man.
The good sides, whilst executing their set plays, pass so close to the line and it often draws in the opposition defence. By doing this it forces the opposition defence to make a decision for you, allowing you to then pass it to your backline players or continue playing what's in front of you.
Foran is a good example of this. He often gets whacked for his trouble but he digs right into the opposition defence before playing out the back, and what it does is create space out wide as the defence tries to compress and shut down the play. Our "set plays" were all occurring well before the defence, and all South's had to do was hold off and wait until the play broke down.
