Injury SJOGHCIU - Offseason Edition

[RookiePick]

Nah, been through it frame-by-frame, no one stood on his foot

Looks like he went to change direction and rolled it. Do we inject all of our players lower legs with preventative painkillers before they go out to play? Too many seem to have no idea where their bodies are in space.

I think we should go back to Subi.
Ever since we got Optus our luck and fortunes have turned to crap.

We've gone from a fortress of being feared. They used to call us at Subi the house of pain.

Optus is the opposite. It's the house our pain within our own club.

Don't miss Subi one bit personally

Putting our injuries down to a brutal new fitness regime that has exposed the most vulnerable to injury, old and young players, who we have a lot of due to mistakes and bad luck with our list build

 

[Nuffington Post]

The worst part of our injury list is it’s not even our older players but most of our recent draftees:
Chesser - knee
Hough - hamstring
Burgiel - hamstring
Bazzo - injured most of preseason
Hewett - ankle
Long - ???
Ginbey - looks sore and copping eye pokes/studs from Danger and we are not resting him

Like the article (like most Rhinos stuff) and an optimistic spin on things.

Will say if true, it was at least predictable that injuries would mount at some stage which really makes the decision to keep going with the same model for the reserves (or at least not have a plan B) even more baffling

Great article from Rhino, I'm sure the usual suspects will still want to get rid of the S&C team and piss and moan about irrelevant factors.

Time will tell if its ultimately successful but short(er) term pain for long term gain is something I can get behind.

Sort of like Chris Scott's first premiership as coach?

If thats the case then next year will be the true sign

Here's hoping it's onwards and upwards

A good read, and explains a lot. As has been pointed out on here, this new fitness regime will be 2 years in the making.
We just need to be patient.

It's an interesting theory Rhino proposes and you're right that only time will tell.

He's essentially saying that the club over-trained the young and old and now they are blowing up a season in order to see whose body can stand up to it. That is a very risky plan - as one you start ripping hamstring tendons you will forever have weakness in that area.

I'm sure the young ones will adapt, but the club is going to have to make hard decisions over what to do with the veterans. I don't see Nic Nat or Shuey getting fit, Gov and Yeo are question marks.

Also interesting that Rhino has a reasonable explanation for what's going on, yet Big Trev can't possibly fathom how this could happen

Easier to provide a reasonable explanation as a third party, than for the club CEO to come out and say that they're going to blow up the players to see who can handle the modern game.

Also have tanking implications to consider, as well as insurance claims.

There's probably a middle ground between "can't possibly fathom" and blowing the players up I reckon

But how dare anyone question anything

Well, could simply be damage control from Nisbett, or he just doesn't understand the process enough.

 

[KERRPOW]

Agree, while it is hard to watch now....its actually a blessing in disguise. We get a good pick or likely trade down again.

Eagles change Naitanui plan as more months on the sidelines loom

Despite the headline it’s not really a change, just confirming we won’t see him before the bye.

Can someone tell us how NicNat is going and when is his realistic return to the AFL?
