Pinched off the pies board.


Leeds listLEEDS 15 (10 long-term) Scott Donald (shoulder reconstruction), Greg Eastwood (knee and broken wrist), Kallum Watkins (ruptured cruciate ligament), Luke Burgess (double fracture of jaw and ankle), Jamie Peacock (knee twice, including reconstruction), Danny McGuire (knee reconstruction), Kylie Leuluai (ankle), Matt Diskin (groin), Carl Ablett (ankle), Jamie Jones-Buchanan (broken foot), Robbie Burrow (torn cruciate ligament), Chris Clarkson (ankle), Brent Webb (ankle), Ali Lauitiiti (leg), Danny Buderus (knee).

15 players injured for more than a few weeks and we still got to the CC final and finished 3rd. Pretty good effort.

I was trying to work this out the other night, and I got to around the same figure. A pretty excellent season considering the injuries we have had.

Infact thats wrong, Kevin Sinfield, WCC dead leg, missed about 4 matches didn't he?

Ian Kirke had also missed a few game due to injury hasn't he?

Interesting to see that both Saints and Wigan have same number of long term injuries too and Saints only one (according to the paper's criteria!?!) lay off behind our stat. Our season has been disrupted majorly by the timing of a lot of the injuries rather than the amount imo.

Still great effort by the 17 put out on the field and hats off to the entire squad for what they have achieved.

Its quite an interesting stat given that the top 4 injury hit teams all managed to get into the top 6 in the league. And the top 3 injury hit teams finished 1,2,3 in the season. Does that mean if Leeds, Wigan and Saints stay injury free, or have much better luck, next season that they will blow the other teams away?

Well you would have to think that a more settled squad and consistently turning out the strongest 17 would make a difference. Also, looking at the players injured, it may be that Saints and Leeds have had it rougher with the players they have lost and, thinking back, the times at which they lost them. We immeadiately begin next year on the back foot (barring signings or wonderkids), but at least have opportunity to work the fit players in preseason to get game plans in place.

It could be very interesting in 2011!!

Alot of bust legs.

No one noticed!

Interesting to see Warrington at the bottom of the pile. Further cements their poor performance in the league

They should have done better, a lot better. Considering TS rested a few the week before the CC final and then again the week before the playoffs. There squad should of been fresh, CC hangover my aris.

Their players were tired. FACT*

* = according to their fans

Sack the conditioner then.

Did Danny McGuire miss a few games early season then? Otherwise it's a bit much to have him as a long term 2010 injury on the back of missing the last game of the season . . . .
