I've said elsewhere that the $8m advance should be poured directly into the high performance and rehab units. I'd like to see some stats on how many injuries we sustain per year, average lay off per injury, and how many players sustain recurring injuries. It's probably no worse than other teams but it just seems like we are always missing one or two key players every week. We don't even start the season at full strength.
