On team selection - We seem to continue to play injured players, must figure 80% of that player is better than 100% of our depth. We've done it with Lachie, Zorko, berry ...
This is the selection choice that I don't agree with, especially early in the season. Injury is a young players opportunity, and they should get that òpportunity.
Also think the club has a duty of care and some injuries shouldn't be played through.
I cringe when I hear about players getting multiple epidurals. Once off maybe, but many for the same issue is serious injury territory. As Archie Smith
said in his recent interview, the focus of players is all on getting selected the next week, so they don't consider the next 40 years. They need a safety net, and it should be the team selection process.
