Inside Center

The Inside Center role can be played in a few different ways depending on the team’s needs and the player’s skillset. The first is to be used almost as a second 10, being able to run moves, make tactical kicks and make decisions for the team. The other way to play 12 is to be a strong, powerful runner who can hit gaps in the midfield and break tackles, similarly to how a 13 may play. Either way can very useful for a team but what is all ways important is defending, centers are in the middle of the field and any gaps in defence here can be extremely costly for the team. A good 12 will have a good understand of the 10 and 13 positions as well so they can all support each other in the game.
