He was awesome today.

Mind you does anybody think he looks a fair bit slower? Not that he was ever Usain Bolt.

Pace was never a weapon so it won't hurt his game, just looks slower.
I was just about to say the exact opposite. I've never seen him look fitter, he's covered a mountain of territory in the last 2 weeks as a link man, rather than just giving us the first use he usually does.

I haven't checked but I daresay his uncontested ball stats would be much higher than last year's.

I think he looks a bit bulkier which might affect his pace.
