In some ways our lack of an injury crisis this season proved to be a curse. I think that because his strongest 17 was available most weeks that Radders opted to play that 17. Which is understandable as it was very tight at the top of the table and fielding our strongest team whenever possible gave us our best chance of success.
Unfortunately that meant we had a few players out of energy by the end of the season as we perhaps didn't make as good a use of the squad and the u23's as we could of. Which also impacted some of our younger players as they didn't get the run outs they were maybe expecting to aid their development and gain them some experience.
Hopefully fortune will favour us again next year regarding injuries but we'll also have the chance (and take it) to rotate.

1. Our most successful season for decades coincides with our most injury free season since we got into Super League...
2. See above
