Truly a jack-of-all-trades role, the centre is at the very heart of the game throughout its entirety. Restarting the game from the centre circle, the centre’s role revolves around circulating the ball as quick as possible to their team’s attackers. Alertness remains key to the centre’s role as they are often required to turn on their heels and get back defending quickly in order to help out the remainder of their team. Needing a good set of lungs is important to the role as the centre is constantly asked to get the ball from one end to the other.
