Injuries...

[eeelectroshooting?]

Obviously the last few seasons we've got the short straw when its come to injuries. I was wondering what you all thought; if they're mainly due to bad luck, or is there a problem behind the scenes ie: training technique, inadequate rest time, poor medical staff etc...?

or is this a ridiculous question based solely on speculation?

I sorely believe we are a little to intense during the training sessions. I think our medical staff arent doing a proper job. In 2001 we had very little injuries off the field. However in 2003 and 2004 we have been hammered with injuries off the field. You gotta wonder what the staff at Parra are doing.

Parra really don't measure up to the fitness of sides like the Bulldogs and Roosters. We lack real workrate in most of our forwards. Hindmarsh and Cayless are the obvious exceptions.

I've also wondered about. Little decisions such as Luke Burt re-injuring himself in training last year, plus the extended breaks of Cayless and Cannings this year poses the same question. Fitness definately has to be an issue.

Whatever it is, it's obviously not working.

I've seen them train - they are very intense and focused.

Come game time, and they lack the intensity and focus seen during training.
