Exactly. Surely it’s just an age/injury possibility thing for Gags. Can’t be based on form.Have you seen Val play this year? Lols

seen a stack of times he's ready to offload and the players around him standing flat footed and just watching him go to ground.Saw a stat today that claims KPP has played 962 minutes and has yet to score a try. that is appalling and says it all about our attack.
I was at the game on Sunday and can maybe shed a little light on this. Had seats high up right on halfway and what was strikingly obvious, particularly after our first set of forward interchanges, was just how passive our line speed is. Whether we are coached to slide and adjust I don't know but Jack Hetherington literally moved 1 meter up from the refs line, stopped and waited for the Storm ball runner to run another three meters before the tackle impact (not to pick just on Jack Hetherington). Crossland led the line but got absolutely cooked doing it and started to make a few simple misses. The Saifitis, Hetherington and Leo are relatively mobile for front rowers but they don't seem to sprint off the line in defense like the Storm forwards did.Happily, I don’t suffer from the dunning-Kruger effect when it comes to how I think of my own knowledge of rugby league. So this is a genuine call for answers: why is it that we get steam rolled every week? We seem to be the weakest and least physical side in the competition. I’m never worried about how the other team’s back 5 are going to outclass ours on the back of a slick backline movement. No, every week I look at how they are going to make 70ms a set from 1 out runs and dummy half scoots. What’s doing? Can someone explain lol
