Quote: Slugger McBatt "I thought Brough's passing was well-off in the first half. It was why Wigan were able to get in our faces so much, because Miller and others were constantly getting passes that were a little high or just behind them, so it never seemed like we could attack the line.
Very good article here on the ageing process and athletes, and the physical changes that go on in the body, looking at how Tom Brady has defied it, principally by changing his playing style, using his brain rather than his body.

The guy is a pocket passer and barely gets touched. He isn't expected to put his body on the line and take hits anywhere near as much as an RL player. I dare say some RL players would be able to play at 40+ were they able to constantly avoid contact.
