Do you think he will reach his peak again? I think it's unlikely. Flying on the track is very different to flying on the field. Fact is age catches up with you and he won't be as strong as he was in his mid 20s. He wil also have the psychological aspect of his knee reco to deal with. Lynch perfect example. The unfortunate fact is you slow as you age (speed, reflex et) and the younger ones get quicker relatively. Even the great Harry Taylor, though still very influential started tapering off a little at around 30yo. Rance is still be super important but I think his role may change a little. I'll be happy to just see him get out there, build his confidence and make a substantial impact in 2020.
You're not talking about a normal human T'love, I've been watching him "Flying on the Track" and can tell you he would be the fittest bloke at the club with the work he has put in, (he ain't slowing down). Yeah there will be rust and some initial trust issues with his knee to worry about but that will quickly pass. Baring re-doing his knee i back Rancey to get back to his best.
You mention Lynch as a perfect example, Lynch played all 25 games, without him we don't make finals, let alone GF, (Lynch was dominating year end when it counted), I'll happily take that example and apply it to Rance
