Yeah exactly....we don't necessarily win more often because of his runs but I will say we look much more dangerous side when he does run.These kind of stats can be misleading imo. Good dummy halfs are going to run more when the defensive line is retreating or staggered or there's a really fast play the ball etc.
It's not simply the case that we're more likely to win if Brailey runs straight into a defensive wall for the hell of it more often.
Edit: typo
its just such a weird correlation to even to put in as a query. I like it.Who cares what f*ckler says. He has CTE fo sho!
That does make things interesting, particularly given his age. Would suggest anybody who does anything physical and that involves contact or shaking of the head is at risk.Speaking of CTE. Keith Titmus, that kid from Manly that died and landed Dessie in hot water has been diagnosed with CTE post mortem (as it has to be).
That's going to put the cat amongst the pigeons.
Can't paste any of the stories as I don't have subscriptions.
Here's one link anyway
Perhaps not all are susceptible to it. Considering you can't test for it while breathing equals a big problem for the sport.

I’d guess if they did a large enough sample (I’m talking 100’s of thousands), they’d probably find most people who live any sort of active life will have signs of it.
Which is why for me, the only way forward for any sport is to define it as a ‘known and accepted risk’ - I get that doesn’t work under current legal frameworks, but something will have to give eventually, either contact sport dies, or the participants are required to sign disclaimers - you can’t have a halfway house, it won’t ever work.Perhaps not all are susceptible to it.
