But I agree - Samo in particular - he needs to go from 35 pos on his good days to 25 on his bad (not 16). 5 of his 8 games this year he's been in the teens. He's still miles off unfortunately. Shame because our fortunes are closely tied to his performances in my opinion. He's a real barometer for us.
For me it's the work rate they exhibit to knock up that many.
And they work really hared both ways.
They also had 10% more tackles than us.
It is a base fitness thing, but some of our guys (SPS and Cunningham) should almost be there after 3+4 years respectively
