Yawn

go back over the long term injuries from the last 2 seasons then what the injury was and you will find they are just freak accidents,its got nothing to do with studs been to long or short,guess weve been just very unlucky.

We certainly seem to have had our quota of bad luck.

Very intellectual response. You should get some lessons from one of your better educated posters

Has to be down to luck. We've had no luck for a few seasons now. The injuries always seem to be to our key men too. (Dykes, Jason Smith, R Horne)

Probably agree it could be luck but i just wondered if club coaches sit down at the end of the season and analyse injuries and their likely causes.

I reckon they do but im not sure there's anything that could change. The club have changed staff, varied training locations etc and nothing has worked. The injuries are also fairly different from each other generally otherwise that may give an indication. Just unlucky i guess.

Can't remember who it was but someone answered this in a previous thread - apparently they're going to get the players to drink more milk to strenghten their bones to prevent breaks.

key men do tend to get targeted though, so I would say, more likely to get injured?

Think the pitch thing is worth looking into.

In NRL most of the pitches will be specifically for rugby use, I guess, ie, softer - as are the majority of SL pitches. Are muscle and ligament type injuries more prolific on pitches like ours, Wigan's and Hudds' which will be harder for the football?

I remember a lot of our injuries stemmed from Kingy's testimonial match against Huddersfield a couple of years ago. This was the first match for them at the KC after training for months on specialist rugby fields during the off-season. Similarly, they train and play all week on soft ground for a once in a fortnight game on the hard KC ground.

Are their bodies not conditioned for the difference in conditions?

They do i guess. Still think its just down to luck though
