I found it pretty devoid of analysis to be honest.

The premise, you'd guess based on the headline, was control of danger zones. But there was no explanation of that theory really.

The single example used to back up the headline was a time when Perth doubled up on Bonevacia (because he's a beast) leaving McGlinchy free. I'm not sure that substantiates a cunning "control of danger zones" argument.

The rest of the piece was unconnected statistics, quotes from randoms, and some purring "Ernie is a genius" suckuppery.

Hardly heavy-hitting analysis imho.
