At the end of this season, I am going to show a table of our players average time on ground percentage (some of which will be thrown out by mid game injury) but I think we are going to find that we have a large number of players spending a lot of time on the ground at advanced ages, and the younger players spending significantly less time on ground.
I think that there is talent there ... but it is spread too thin and hasn’t been given time to mature.
I suspect that we will have quite a few players who have spent more time on the ground than is usual. Several games with a reduced bench will have contributed to that but I reckon that we are asking a lot of our players and they are feeling it.
