BHRFC | Interview – Jon Tutty
our extra player straight over for
the jackal. The understanding
is we get the ball quicker and in
terms of game management the
opposition is far more likely to get
a yellow card for not releasing the
ball persistently which then gives
us an extra player for ten minutes.
This season has seen the
introduction of a new play ying
system both in defence and
attack. We have been able to
incorporate things from last
season also that went well. We
have been running the plays
consistently during sessions and
understanding that the system
is our foundation but when we
have the chance to express
ourselves and attack we do so
with con昀椀dence and purpose.
Our whole game play works off a
high tempo, physical defence that
gives us the opportunity to be
expansive and creative with our
rugby through both the forwards
and backs.
Q5. From what you have seen
so far are there any players that
excite you for the season ahead?
Absolutely!! As I look through
the team I am constantly excited
about the potential they have and
what they can achieve. Firstly we
have a team of leaders. Players
who understand not just what is
required of them but of the team
as a whole and how they can do
that together.
What a player our Captain is!!
Rezzy commands respect from
all of us for all that he has done in
the game and does for the team.
He goes about his business in a
calm and collected way, leads
by example and if he speaks the
lads listen. e is one of the 昀椀ttest
players on the team and performs
to high standard with everything
that he does.
Chris obson Close our VC is
what people would call a ‘proper
player’. Understands the game and
all its requirements. You’ll see Chris
at 10 or in the back row and if you
weren’t from the club you would
think either is his natural position.
en ron昀椀eld s is a player who
I cannot wait to see how he
develops as the season goes.
Ben has all the tools to be a truly
outstanding player not just for
Burgess Hill but I do believe will
don the Sussex jersey and number
of times. He is athletic, strong,
makes adaptions quickly to his
game when needed. Ben has been
fantastic during pre season so
look make sure you keep an eye
out from him this season.
Dom Jennings has been a
consistent improver each week.
He is always there early working
on his kicking or conditioning.
He has a real desire to learn and
understand all aspects of what
we are trying to achieve. Has
good speed, change of direction
and is good under the high ball.
