Any evidence to suggest this supposed decline, or just baseless trolling as usual?
There is no evidence so far. But it's as inevitable as the sun setting in the evening. He's got another season at the top IMO, if he's human he'll start to pick up more injuries and once that happens it's a slippery slope. He's not an impact player, he's a player whose value comes in the mountain of work he gets through. He's probably done more tackles and ran more metres than 99% of players who have ever played the game. It's got to be having an effect. I think it's fair to say he won't be able to maintain his current levels for much longer.
