Quote ="knockersbumpMKII"I would look at a stat like that and be pleased, I said pre season I'd want DH to stop making so many tackles and make our much vaunted pack take some of the work load off him. That means he's fresher in games, his distribution doesn't drop off, hes able to make telling breaks deeper into each half and as important lessen the chance of injury/burnout at the backend of the season.'"
Absolutely - it's already bearing dividends in his performances. Let's hope it helps him develop his attacking play. Surely a less tired/more alert 9 will make better decisions and improve their distribution.
