Come now Nick neither TLL or Dugans injury were handled very well by the club. They both literally just made the existing injury worse when they played. I appreciate your angle here but both were disastrously managed.
TLL and Dugan are as bad as each other
if we rested those blokes every time they had niggles, we'd never seem them play. They are alway carrying niggles. If thats your opinion then there are ramifications
1. You better come to terms with having Dugan and TLL along with many others for only half a season. If we're resting them each time there is a niggle, thats the situation
2. You might as well release them, because the big money deals they are on arent worth it for that time frame and actually under the salary cap, by resting anyone with a niggling injury, we will be debuting about 10 blokes a year on the 2nd teir cap and exceeding it, which will impact our cap the following year. So Dugan, Fensom, Shillington... we're going to have to cut them
3. Because we're rest any big name player (ie the good ones) who has a niggle, you can expect us to be spooners every year, as our stars wont be on the paddock for enough games to get us into semi final football.
the fact of elite sports life is most players carry niggling injuries, in some cases they would be better suited to sit the games out and get better, but in most cases they can play through effectively.
The other fact is these athletes are managed at a health level beyond any other profession. Medical experts are paid to make determinations on the extent of the injury and the likelyhood or re-injury or further damage. Those experts who have medical qualifications advise the player and club of their opinion and in most cases, that is the option taken by the club and player.
If the medical staff tell them they cant play, very few cases ive heard of defying that advise (and you always hear of it when it happens because we all feed of those "defied mecial advise and played a staring role" stories in the paper.)
You are way off base here mate. The injury toll at the club simply cant be blamed on the furners, as much as you'd dearly like to
