I suspect Kevvie might be guilty of user error with all of this. Did you see him critiquing the Maroons’ kick off on Fox? You’ve gone too far Kev.

Thanks Paul, I agree with you mate, the intense data collection taking place isn’t bad per se, I’m more driving at the question as to whether or not the sheer volume and relatively novel value of it is currently sucking away the time for some core coaching duties. Like most tech, there tends to be a latency between adopting these innovations wholeheartedly and the way it should be integrated effectively into our lives. Social media comes to mind, just because you can tweet 24/7 doesn’t mean you should ????
