It's really not. I can tell you that Shaul's passing isn't great, and I reckon I could improve it if I worked with him, but I'm certainly not a coach. It's just a case of practice and technique.
An attacking coach will look at the team as a whole, working on set plays, players roles, option runners, suppoting the ball etc. He wouldn't and shouldn't be dealing with specific skills like how to pass a ball correctly.

So..
What happens if a player's technique ,ie speed & accuracy is not up to standard?
Who would be responsible to improve this facet of their game?
It shouldnt be down to the player(s) , it should be -IMO.. a coach to recognise that the skill level,is not up to the standard required.

Come on surely anyone who knows the game can see Shaul isn't a hooker. Let's suppose his tackling is up to it (I don't think it is fwiw but I'll give him benefit of the doubt), being a decent hooker is about far more than just being able to run from dummy half. You need to have a good and varied passing game, you need to make decisions, call plays, preferably be able to kick a bit and to be able to do all of those things effectively you need good game awareness.
I think Rankin could potentially play there. A lot of skills that come from being a half back are transferable to hooker. Shaul would be hopeless there imo.

Not saying hes Hooker at all, just saying I'd have him on the bench rather than Cunningham, and if he was to spell Houghton, I'm pretty certain he could cause damage to a tiring defence and follow a few simple instructions. Which im certain would be simple coming from Radford, its not like we've loads of technical attacking plays

It is down to coaching yes, but an attacking coach wouldn't be coming in to work one to one with a player on something like that, it's basics. Jamie Shaul knows how to pass, I'm certain about that, it just needs practice in game situations. The more involvement he has in running plays in training etc the better it will become.
