How can we turn the injury toll around

Its been the same for two or 3 years now, expectation followed by a drizzled out season because of injury, is it the training, is it the replacement rule. Do we need to spy on other clubs techniques. I know we can say the youngsters are pushed into first grade and their bodies are not ready BUT they are replacing injured players ????
 
We are a product of our circumstances. Awful facilties for a professional sporting team and ex players in place of expert professional staff to handle strength and conditioning. These must be a factor.

The grass on the sidelines always looks to be in pretty good condition.
 
Ask Lote what they do at Souths. He's just about played more games and at a higher quality this season than in his last 2-3 with us.
 
Behind the goal posts training is exceptional … As for the rest .. I wouldn't know !

And that is it in a nutshell,good coaching,training,rehab and facilities,our injuries are not all bad luck,we need a clean out of all coaches and conditioners and start afresh.

There really is no other way.

I heard him interviewed on radipo and was asked about the difference between souths and WTs.

Very very critical of us….full of praise for them...it was earlier this year I posted more detail about it.

He said they listen to you when you have injury concerns...inferring we dont listen to players

Equipment training and rehab is 100x what we have...everything more professional there

It shows in how he is playing....no coincidence, no bad luck....in a high collision top level sport as NRL is you need to be at the forefront of all the science training rehab and recovery...we are years behind most
 
As it's been noted before, our head S&C man is apparently level 1 ASCA qualified. The ASCA website suggests qualifies working with beginner athletes, and the level 1 curriculum includes little injury prevention training. Meanwhile the Broncos S&C man is apparently a primary lecturer for the highest level 3 quals.
You get what you pay for. But also what you aim for.

It isn't about the person in the role - they are both doing thier best and the best we have available. The gap is money and we don't have it - Broncos spend 25 million a year we spend 11 or 12.

Our trainers would be fine if we spent the money or more importantly had the money. This can be all put down to our board and the boards of the respective leagues clubs - all of them
 
buy & invest in players who want to be there.
Those that do their talking on the field - not off it.
the spirit afterall soothes the soul which in turn soothes our bodily aches. This process is heightened & accelerated after a victory & 2 competition points.
This is how i would tackle the situation. pardon the pun.
