AhGame speed, fatigue and sustainability.
In 2023 the year before Vegas, round one scoring.
Total points 282 average per game 35, average margin 8.75.
This year round one 404 points average per game 50 average margin 20.
It's continuing in round 2 so far average above 50.
The Dragons who fans say are slow and have no attack still scored 20 points against the Storm, that would of been enough to win every game in round 1 in 2023.
I'm not sure about the sustainability of players and where the game is heading at this rate.
Last year we had record numbers of injuries and even this year thru pre season it was high.
But in all seriousness I did mention that there was some beautiful attacking structures that led to tries yesterday with players in motion confusing the defence, something I hadn't seen in very many years. Atkinson on two occasions at least threw beautiful passes for tries.
Nobody is talking about our 3 unanswered tries in the 1st half and had we not let that bloody Grant sneak over on the last play of the 1st half we would have been in front at oranges.
But your right the game is continuing to get faster each year , I get fatigued watching.
