Where can they go?
They are allowed to move in the centre and attacking third including the circle.
What do they do?
They mark the opposition's goal defence.
They have to be good passers and long range shooters.
Their role is to work with the WA to get the first centre pass, if not then assist in feeding the ball to the Goal shooter so they can shoot from close range as well as taking shots from long range.
If not taking the shot, get into a good position to win the rebound if the GS misses.
