French running style change

Posted by Mudskip on June 11, 2017 at 7:50pm

I know he has had a positional change and being fullback is a hell of a lot different from being a winger, what has his running style changed he now runs like Clinton _SchifcofskeThis style just put a dampener on any pace losing any momentum and any powerDo the eels have a running coach

  Not sure if you are serious or a troll..

Thinking about it you are correct he does run alot like Clinton!

Needs to watch the Storm..................

He's trying ALOT of footwork to get through the line rather than simply relying on his blinding speed. I feel he needs to run at holes at full pace to be more effective. Yes occasionally he'll get hammered but he's just not going to dance his way through nrl defences from a standing start. Maybe watch some video of Brett Hodgson to see how a lighter frame fullback plays effectively.

  Good point , good reference point for him

Too much sideways stepping. He needs to find the hole go forward and back his speed

He needs sometime in wenty to find his form and touch hes struggleing since he came back

  I guess he could still be carrying the injury

I do think he has been a bit tentative since returning BUT he showed glimpses of last year during the game on Saturday against the cowboys!
A fair bit more running straight at the line instead of hopping around at the defensive line. He made several "half breaks" so I am predicting a return to form from Frenchy against the Dragons... my crystal ball is seeing 2 tries!
