Rugby League Coaching Manuals

Written by Glen Bayliss ..........if your players realise the vast array of attacking possibilities that arise from a scrum and can choose the right option, for the right situation, you enhance your attacking potency.

Putting players in “game like” situations at training and exploring attacking possibilities help them to recognise situations and where to attack for the best result.

You don’t need to be “over complicated” but follow these simple guidelines.

1. The more players in motion the greater the pressure on defence.
2. Limit your number of passes.
3. Make use of decoy runners.
4. Use a player twice i.e. pass and wrap
5. Use your fullback and shortside winger.
6. Hit the line with pace.

Scrums are an ideal opportunity to attack.

Make sure that your team is aware of this and always attack for the best result.
