I think we have something in the water in Hull, between us we have a full team out already.

Wouldn't be a bad team as well

See Deano came off feeling ill, he’s not getting much luck lately.

Really surprised that on an “injuries” thread, nobody has mentioned Tony Smith’s “bad side”.

Do the world a favour.Go and bore somebody else.

Does anybody know why we has a team get so many bloody injuries we have more again is it the training or just bad luck it’s now close on 4 yrs of bad luck if that’s what it is

As I see it, it,s down to one or two things,or a bit of both(1) Stinking black bad luck (2) Bigger,heavier opposition players smashing our lighter players who run out of steam after having a go.
Plus, once you are on the back foot and having to defend you are more likely to get injured as you tire.
We are losing 2 or 3 every single game and cannot afford to do so.
That said, looks like the boys gave it a real go today, all credit for that, but we need fit players and more importantly,points.
Points are all that really matter.Everything else takes care of itself.

Sums it up pretty well.

I have seen it put more brutally as ‘it is a collision sport and we lose collisions’.

There’s also an issue that we have to sign players many of whom have been passed over by other teams and that’ll sometimes be down to concerns over them being prone to injuries.

Generally this is a major talking point after Wigan fixtures - partly because their superiority makes the result borderline inevitable and partly their MO. If we want to Be better we need to look at how they really operate and never, ever listen to their advice.

At the risk of sounding a bit ‘it’s the taking part that counts’, from the comments I’ve seen it sounds like the team we fielded gave their best. That’s where we are currently.

I listened to the commentary today and did wonder whether Wayne had come back to coach them. Some pretty awful incidents there and I hope disciplinary deal with them appropriately.

Something in the water in Hull. It does feel like we both get way more injuries compared to other teams.

Michael Carter has been quoted as saying Wakefield had 21 players undergo surgery last season. You simply cannot cope with that hit to the ranks.

From the footage I've seen, you've been victim to the infamous Wigan sniper tackling today.

Addled is a b&w who only posts on here. According to VT these cannonball tackles never happened.

Apparently Flowers tackle was just mistimed and something seen in any RL game according to a Wigan poster? Maybe any game involving Wigan

Lets face it, the thug Flower should not even be playing the game at all

The cup final incident apart which was just an individual losing control which cost his side a final I've always seen Flower as a tough old fashioned prop who plays things near the edge. Today's tackle was cynical and not even needed as the other 2 had stopped Storton. It's a tactic Mcillorum under Wane employed and seen Powell isa Leauliua plus the 2 Chav props doing it again last season and half or so. Flower was only doing what he is coached. Should have been a red.
