I agree leave out Ligi till round one.If he gets injured we are really screwed
Bowden fit for round one looks ok on paper but on the field he is a waste of space
Even if Satae is fit we are still looking at a poor front row with Bowden or Brown and Fash the same as most of last season
Johnstone should be nowhere near the first team and whilst i would like to see Lovodua at nine, given the injury list then Houghton is likely to start with Lovodua on the bench.
Griffin will have to play in the second row as we can cover centre with Scott.
anyone know whats happened to Mitch the Figi wing?

I can cope with Satae, Fash, Brown and Sao for the first few games, our big issue was creating chances hopefully with Gale and Lovodua that will improve.

Why is it always the forwards who get injured Do Hull need to tweak their training methods It seems to be leg related injuries ?

Re: Pre Season : Fri Jan 28, 2022 9:40 am  

Nobody think the conditioning team need to go? Seem to always get more then our fair share of injuries these days, 16/17 was the last year's I remember us not being hammered by injuries

It's rugby not tiddly winks. A lot of teams have runs of injuries. Rovers are getting them now. Not as bad but still injuries. Hopefully this is our bad run.

Yeah injuries is part of the sport but my point is we seem to suffer more then most, in essence we should have good/bad seasons in regards to injuries, however we just seem to be constant injury hit

Rovers have 8 out ATM. Other teams have injury problems to. But we do seem to be having a run of injuries which some are just unlucky. Mau did his doing a few extra gym exercises. You would hope the conditioning team have more knowledge of injury prevention than some of us whos idea of a training run is putting the crisps down to go for a mickey lol

I'm not sure that's true. People are more aware of their own team's injuries but generally speaking I imagine we are no worse off than average.

I am maybe reading into the team selection a bit but it looks like we’re going to play a settled back line. But surprised there’s no room in the squad for Mitch is he injured as he must be above some of the other French players in the pecking order
