Thought we’d be much higher up than that. We can’t get through one game without at least 2 injuries occurring. You can’t tell me the Broncos warriors and cowboys have more injured players than us?

I just think we have had our top 5 players injured, other clubs have higher injury tolls probably just not there top 5 or so players

the main problem is that our injuries players have been our top players.

Why don’t we go and borrow some shoulder pads from the bulldogs forwards that played under Warren Ryan,
Can’t remember them having any shoulder injuries at the time.

Maybe, but quite a few of our replacements have been injured in the process as well, not just our top 5.

Yes, I have to agree that the sheer amount of injuries especially to shoulders and also more than the occasional concussion WT should institute compulsory wearing of both approved head gear and shoulder pads to try to minimize injury. Anything to help.

Ahh 80s rugby league sholder pads that's what we need.
Maybe bring back those padded bike pants as well.

And champion @kiwitiger, while you're at it, bring back the "Zambuks"! 😉

Our position on this ladder aligns with our position on the premiership ladder except in reverse.

There’s def a correlation. Interesting how well rabbits and warriors (probably related to the level of player missing) are going and how lucky dragons are.

Haven't listened to it but I was thinking the same thing.

All up , around 8 shoulder dislocations and long term pec injuries to Hunt and KPP.

I don't see too many league players but soccer players often don't do any contact work at all so when their legs get sweeper, they get bumped in the air or they get contacted in flight, they have poor landing and contact mechanisms leading to upper limb injuries.

If I look at how we have played this year, we are not very strong in contact. Our best meter eater in Turuva gets it done through toughness and going low rather than standing up and fighting.

May doesn't really win contact at all.

Pole uses footwork rather than strength.

Compare that to Bulldogs in guys like Kiraz, Sitili,, Thompson etc who go hard in contact and keep fighting in it.

I hope over the off-season, we do a lot more wrestling, not on ground though.

Interesting ladder when you look into it. Storm & Broncos are definitely feeling it. In reverse, what does that say for Canberra? The Titans? No excuses there.

It is hey. Broncos you’d expect to have a deeper squad after winning the comp but it’s still hurting them.

Wahs & Bunnies are not new to injuries (Metcalf, Barnett last year; Boyd this year) so they have built depth over a couple years as fringeys have had to play more game time & can now contribute when called up

Penrith…how???
