The other recruitment...

[sheer64]

My concern is when our young players are allowed to push the limits in the gym and this seems to be unsupervised as surely no decent conditioning trainer would allow them to do it?
We have issues and it is time for change!

Sorry, but i cant' accept we're a victim of 'bad luck' we've always been horrible with injuries and some injuries are not just down to bad luck. Tears, strains and other soft tissue injuries are often down to training, conditioning, and general care of the body. For example, Mosese and Galloway with pec tears. And our injuries this season have NOT just been confined to 1st grade. NYC and NSW Cup were almost as badly affected in terms of injury count. That kind of toll is simply not acceptable when other sides have been getting off scott free for years like the Storm or Manly. Manly has injuries, sure. But never like we do.

Last year wasn't too great injury wise either.

Seriously, are you a qualified physician or physiotherapist? The amount of unqualified opinion in these threads is mind boggling.

Firstly this claim about poor conditioning throughout the club - are we trying to say that the trainers, training regime and support staff are the exact same people for every grade at the club?

And your comment about pec tears - Lachlan Coote, Matt Cooper and Glen Fisiiahi all have season-ending pec tears. So Penrith, Warriors and Dragons obviously have poor conditioning too. Are you aware that Dragons have 4 season-ending knee injuries, Warriors with 3, Eels with 3? Raiders have 9 players out this week?

It's a high-impact sport, full of not just hard physical contact but changes in direction, twisting, bending, diving, wrestling and crushing, opening up every conceivable type of injury to possibility.

Having been treated by Peter Moussa I hope he stays..recovery which he looks after is pretty good. What needs to be looked at is the number of injuries Wests Tigers players pick up in a season in the first place in particular the number of injuries at training that needs to be looked at. Not sure the players are fit either.

McDonnell, **Leads** and all the other Sheens jobs for the boys people need to go.

If you are talking about Andrew LEEDS, He has served this club and Western Suburbs before for 21 years and is the Wests Tigers longest serving employee, he was at the club a long time before Sheens ever stepped foot in the place and a fully trained and qualified physiotherapist.

Well said mate, I was going to post something similar. Its not like he just a former player running the water, he's fully trained as you say. I cant see how Leeds would be holding us back.

That's good…he should have no problems getting a job in the real world then.

real world? he's hardly paris hilton. I'm not sure how studying and getting qualified as a physio makes him not part of the real world but anway.

No I'm obviously not a physio but i can see that this many injuries is not normal nor acceptable. Raiders have 7 players out this week. Same as us, except with us almost every player has been injured this year except for a select few including ava, buchanan, blair and simona.

And yes I know it's a high impact sport, guess what it's like that for every other team yet I don't see other teams with enough people in the injury ward to make up another team. Granted, it's better now but it wasn't a month or two ago.
