Modern Game means Big Injuries!!!

[Byron_Bay_Fan]

The modern game of 3+ defenders stopping one player I sort of remember coming in the eighties and used intensively by the Bulldogs. What is the result? A player gets held by two or more players and then gets heavily tackled by a third or fourth player. I think this completely puts the attacker player at risk of serious and unnecessary injury. Not the fair or necessary thing to do. Basically all those guys are just earning a crumb and should not have to face heavy risk and career shutdown.

It should be no more than two defenders effecting a stoppage, plus I think it would mean a more open, faster and better game.

happened again in tonight's game verses Bulldogs. 2 guys hold a player while a third crashes the legs, wrecking ankles, shins etc.. Should not be part of the game.

I love a good ganger and the doggies performed some beauties last night lol…

I agree with cannon balls though. Not on at all.

Yeah, the modern style definitely sees more twisting injuries.

The other one that is new is the pectoral tears that come from "catching" players that is the new style.
