No good for worms

Give it a few games, it will be interesting to see if there is a trend in any injuries coming out of these games.

Good job players dont get cuts and grazes on normal pitches in summer then

Think the players should wear knee and elbow pads, when playing on this pitch. And just to be on the safe side, maybe a helmet?
Come to think of it, why not play the game in 4 quarters and go with defensive and offensive teams.
I'm really looking forward to Octobers Super Bow... er, Grand Final

I would have guessed trials would have also taken place on it prior to the RFL's ok to use it.

No injuries in the game at all, were there?

Cuts and grazes are something that occurs in any game on a dry pitch. Of course, if this is something that's going to happen all the time then clubs should be prepared for it. If players need too wear skins, then they need to wear skins. Not the end of the world, is it? They help cool you down in the warm summer months anyway.

We will have to have an ipitch at the KC when Rovers move in.

But then we'll have to kick City out because they won't be allowed to play on it. That'd mean we wouldn't need it anyway.

I think City should just get out of our stadium personally so we can get a lovely iPitch and bring back standing area!

I don't think Richie Mathers likes the IPitch

he shouldnt frigging goes in knees first then

To be fair, I bet a lot of Cas and Salford players will be in the same boat!

You shouldnt be like that after playing a match.....its a joke and someone will be seriousley hurt on that pitch.

Those pictures of Mathers knees are truly shocking.

I bet Widnes and the RFL make out it's no big deal, but no players knees should look like that after a game of rugby.

I wonder how long it will be before a player has a serious eye injury after playing on that pitch. I noticed a couple of players got up after making tackles last night and were clearly trying to get someting out of their eye's, obviouslt one of the small rubber baubles. Still, at least it looks nice.
