Nathan Brown injury

[supercoach]

99% percent of injuries are just bad luck, okay having state of the art strength and conditioning facilities may help just a little,but when you get caught in a wrong position and a 100kg forward falls on you,nothings going to help.When Rowdy did his hip,Moltzen did his first ACL,Teddy did his ACL all just freak accidents.

Without wasting hours going through the stats,Iam sure most other clubs go through the same thing when it comes to injuries.

Solution–-pray to the injury god to be kind to us

Still think a some of our injuries could be related through the fact many of our players are having to play above themselves just to be competitive and lack of size plays into that

I think a lot of injuries can be related to many issues

The wrestle
More night football (dewy grounds ,which are causing leg injuries)
Too many interchanges
Too much training in the preseason which is causing physical stress related injuries
Too much football for our top line rep players

Too many interchanges, could you elaborate happy?

Well the big blokes are always fresh , you rotate one 110 kg monster for another 110 kg monster

Yet the 85 kg half plays the 80 minutes and gets fatigued both physically and mentally

If we cut to say 6 interchanges , players will need to be fitter and therefore more leaner

Also the 85kg half gets to aim his attack at 110kg monster and gets his revenge when the big bloke tires and stops working in D

You will find that we will get less injuries when the interchange reduces

The games will become better contests as well

Actually think this could work and would make the last 20 minutes more entertaining and stop teams trying to close up shop. Reducing down to 6 may be a bit too quick for players to adjust to, but even 8 and then in another two years time go to 6 could work.
