Quote dany1979="dany1979"As much as I give Saints great credit, yes…luck is involved.
You can’t discount the amount of games that Wigan actually played, then throw in injuries to people like Manfredi, Burgess, French, Field, Tommy L, Hardaker etc
Would Saints be in the same position with injuries to key players and having to fulfill all their fixtures?
That can’t be discounted.'"
Yes it can.
Go back to when Wigan signed Burgess on the virtual terrace when I posted as Steph. I said there and then it was a shocking signing because his hip was gone. It was common knowledge that he couldn’t even train, let alone play. If I knew that based on Aussie message boards why didn’t Wigan know that?
Secondly, of the other names mentioned, how many injuries were to do with unavoidable instances during games or training?
I bet the majority was training because everyone knows your training set up is not befit of a club of your Calibre
