They can’t pass forward. To break the Gain Line, you have to carry into collisions, recycle the ball out and run into another collision or get out to the backs and run some skill passes to reach the wing to get around. If the wing is manned then gaps can open through the centre.
-The Gain Line is the place the tackle happens, so with each “Phase” it’s good to break this line each time.
If you go to the winger too often the gap between the two sides is too close and it easy to lose yards with good line pressure.
Like I said everything to progress down the pitch has to be carried in possession. As a GAA Girl you’re well acquainted with heavy collisions. Enjoy the game tonight.
