I’m not sure it’s as simple as us running them in to big men that’s getting them injured. I recall Burgess wrecking his knee landing from catching a high ball on the plastic pitch at Widnes for example and Tom Davies had an horrendous leg break, which is a freak injury and simply bad luck. As for Manfredi, his knees are clearly a real issue and you could’ve played that lad on the wing, at fullback or at hooker and they’d have probably gone on him at some point.

Manfredi initial ACL was caused by the smallest man on the pitch at Cas.

Good point.

I think the twisting and turning and the taking of high ball and then landing, on what are sometimes poor pitches, are more of a concern for the wingers than them having to run at big men. Ultimately though I just think us and our wingers have been unfortunate rather than there being a set reason.
