Now, the question we're going to start talking about is fatigue.
Now, it's killing the players at the moment because they're not used to it and they haven't been brought up with it because wrestling's been in the game for 15 years.
But if you go and look at the game before that, I always thought, I've always said, the game aesthetically looked better before wrestling came into it.
The tackling was better.
Now we're seeing some players can't tackle at the moment.
They get so coached.
heavily coached in the system and the structure of the defence that individually they don't know how to tackle a guy.
They haven't got a guy next to them to help corral them into a joint tackle.
They bug it.
But that'll be a change.
Coaches will start to realise that and they'll start to educate the players there.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, I don't know.
I don't know if they will.
There's always going to be a certain element in it, but you just can't do it like you used to be able to do it.
And tackles used to take four or five seconds.
And I don't believe all these numbers about ball and play and all that sort of stuff because they are β
They're false figures.
But it's making the game look aesthetically better.
Fatigue makes the game better.
