That doesn't excuse speedy players, like Martin and SPS, who commonly think first before deciding whether to chase.
Ideally, players will be hungry for the chase (like a seagull after a chip) and react accordingly. Simmo isn't as fast as he used to be but he still reacts like he used to.
Could it be that players make an evaluation of whether or not they are likely to catch the opp player and if very unlikely why waste the energy trying? A bad look nevertheless.
Reality always wins in the end.
