firstly, i feel really bad for campo. no one deserves three back to back injuries like this.
secondly, i hope we move Dugan to 5/8. i said in another post a couple of weeks ago that Robinson is much more of a full back that i want in the green. he's a better tackler than dugan, he's good under the high ball, and he doesn't look like he's going to break in half every time he takes on the line. dugan needs to be in a position where he's taking less tackles and not taking tackles after a 30 metre run up.
the rant portion is that i'm so sick to death of these injuries. i'm sick of guys being rushed back early. i'm sick of guys under injury clouds "passing late fitness tests" and getting serious injuries. it happened to Dugan last year. it happened to tll last year. i don't think it's much of a stretch to say that campese's injury last year was a result of compensating for the injured knee.
and now last week, having been defending on the wing with a dodgy knee for 2 weeks previous, passes a fitness test with fluid on the knee and goes down.
and furner will blame any negative results for the remainder of this season, it makes me really, really angry.
injuries aren't our problem. injury management is our problem. seriously, do we even have a fitness department? if so, who the bloody hell are the hacks that work there?
constant injuries and re-injuries over 2 seasons are not down to bad luck. it's down to bad management. i'm sick of it.
watch it happen again next week when dugan comes back.
can't do any further damage to his shoulder my arse... the movement of the bone in its socket is likely to cause long term damange.
