Enough is Enough : Sat May 14, 2011 7:53 pm  

I am sick and tired of being "Proud" of the effort, although to be fair the defensive effort wasnt really there in the second half today. I am sick and tired of hearing about injuries and I am especially sick of reading on twitter about the new clique #rehabwolfpack. to me that smacks of comfort, its a group of players who are comfortable and to me dont appear to be putting enogh effort into getting themselves back into the team.

Fairplay to Flannel for trying today but what ARE our physios doing - they certainly aren't getting players ready to play. It's about time we had some honesty about WHEN we are going to see some of our senior players back. The physios say its all contact injuries but Kyle's certainly cant be classed as impact - but isnt there a bit of a vested interest from the physios to say its not their fault. We NEVER had this crisis when Apollo was our conditioner.

The kids need a rest - some of the seniors need a rest but it's not going to happen until some of these guys get their backsides onto the pitch - and the longer this goes on the worse it will get.

Really? Or is it a group of players dealing with the frustration of the situation their are in. Gallows humour and that.

And how can a player put effort into coming back? Particularly when said effort could potentially lead to worsening any injury?

We are not the only team with injuries - We are the ONLY team (from what I can see) that have their own twitter group of injured players!

Do you think that there are not players in other teams that are playing when they shouldnt be?

Why are we the ONLY team where players take longer to come back than the estimates - Both Maguire and Peacock were not due back till June but their team needed them!

Steve sounds like he's howling to the moon, which I can understand.

If that means I'm frustrated because we can do SOOOOO much better if we get some bodies back, then I am.

Yes, that is what it means.

As royce has said, they looked at every possible reasons why we have this injury situation but can't put his finger on it as they ain't all the same type of injury.

Last year potter was to blame but we've had the same problems under Royce so it can't be down to the coach. Both potter and Royce have both backed their medical staff so could it just be down to pure bad luck?

Maybe a change of the medical staff to see if new ideas change our injury situation.

Sounds like you need a new conditioner

It's got to be worth a try.

Not strictly true. If you remember, last season the quad injury was the injury to have. As Royce has also said, if our players were going down with quad or hamstring injuries, then that is something they could change. Under Potter a lot of our injuries were muscle based injuries. That isn't so this time. Some are, but very few.
