Also kicking sideways isn't soft, it's timid. Not putting your body on the line when you need to is soft.
It is much easier to teach/instruct someone to be bold and kick long and direct than to give them bravery when it comes to self preservation.
The reason I don't like BEllis is because he is too scared to take the game on. Use whatever word you want.
He has done it from basically game one. He will never change.
He is also one of Dimma's favourites as we all saw last year when his form was even worse than usual.
Some people can see past the stats and see how he does more harm than good.
Even when he decides to tackle, he buries his head and goes down with the player being tackled with no care where the ball ends up. He thinks by going to ground in the tackle his job is done. The idea of a tackling is to get the ball back, not just so you can seem to have tackled.
He is a liability imo
