Quote: St Helens Wolf "When you consider how much of a science sports fitness has become it is difficult to imagine that the players will be anywhere near the level that they should be at come the resumption of the season. On the other hand - this is the longest rest that many of them will have had for a very long time. We may be re-starting with almost a full squad available.'"
I agree, it's the lack of contact they have had as much as anything, must surely take a while to get back used to the hits in tackles etc.
I wouldn't be surprised to see increased injuries in the first few rounds back as players get used to things again.
We have Hull KR, Huddersfield then Wakey first up. Difficult to know what to expect from them really given the break, Huddersfield were going well before the break, so that could be a tough one. It will be Hull KR's second game back too, as they play Toronto the week before.
