Fish article about Rayner upping his midfield time.
Why former No.1 pick is ready for new Lions role
However, with his running capacity now greatly improved, Rayner is ready for the jump.
“He's playing a bit more midfield time and we'll roll with that," Fagan said.
"He's got better endurance now. He's still not an endurance beast, but he's worked on that enormously, enough to be able to play good minutes in the midfield, which is all that's required.
"His value is his power around the stoppages and the things he can do there.
"We're really pleased with how he's developed."

That's silly. Even for him.
Sometimes he says some smart things which you'd expect if you say a lot of things.
So just says anything . If it's good he's smart ,if it's silly he gets a reaction which overall is the purpose.

He obviously has a lot of hot takes but I agree that often they aren’t silly.
This one is a product of his hatred for long contracts (unless they are port players) and recency bias from hippy having a quiet finals series.
Hippy’s accuracy fell in the finals last year and that was part of the issue. Just the year before he was our best player in the tigers and dees finals.
True.
On reflection we had guys down in the GF from whom you would have reasonably expected a lot more.
So we did well to almost pinch it.
