Age and wear and tear from an additional 22 games will do that, especially for the older guys having to play more for Theo’s absence. Add all that with how neither Hague nor Whitecloud have stepped up their games. IMO if Vegas were to make a big splash, an LD should be at the top of the list.You'll get no disagreement from there.... a big part is we seem to have forgotten how to play the defence that made us so successful last year.
