But this is exactly the point ("high value chances in the box"). He gives back so much of his value because of his insistence on doing this.

pass map is also revealing (courtesy @barts78.bsky.social ). For the first game, the full back balance was better, with one sitting when the other went. However, note again for the first time, the RB sat more than the LB! In addition,
