And the same number as Galea.

Martin Gleesons Stress/Slimfast related injury

And not to forget, weve all had a bad side for the past 6 years

Also James Webster and his visa issues . Crocker the same .

When was the season we had 3 out with broken jaws?

Am I missing something as I seem to remember Feildon sticking his knee in Smith's chest and putting him out for weeks which, in my book, means he's injured!

I don't believe in superstitions/curses and you can easily point the finger of blame at the club for many of the players listed in this thread.

Dykes famously wasn't given a medical, despite being old and already having a dubious fitness record.

We knew that Head coulden't train much during the week due to his fitness problems when we signed him (though saying that he's probably the most consistent No7 we've had since Brough!)

Sing, Fitzgibbon, Martin, Long, Blacklock & Domic were all the wrong side of 30 and had played hundreds of games for club and country when we signed them, they all had a lot of 'miles on the clock'

And how many of the list did we risk further injuries by playing the player under painkilling injections?

yes we've had a few examples of bad luck (Ellis trapping a ball and damaging his foot being one example) but in others you have to again look at the quality of our recruitment over the years.

No - you're not missing anything at all.

Poor recruitment the root of much of it

Dont think hes been that bad tbh , dont see what peoples problem is with him

He isnt Manu

Fielden got a two match ban and warned about lifting his knee into a tackling player's chest.

Jason Smith missed around four months with a shattered sternum, IIRC. The Doctor who examined the injury at the time said it was the worse of it's type he'd ever seen.

That's why I used the phrase "cheap shot merchant". Thuggish play from a player who would never take one anyone his own size.

Rubbish. He took on Willie Mason

Richard Swain? One of the games true iron men yet a career ending injury at Hull.
