Injuries in general were a topic of discussion at work today. Most agreed they are becoming more prevalent these days but nobody could put a finger on why. I tend to agree somewhat.

They're playing too much. We need to double the size of squads (top 25 moving to a top 35). This will allow coaches to rest players. I also think with the new interchanges players will need to slow down the ruck more which means more wrestling and players are getting into more awkward positions.

I reckon its the wrestling crap that has been brought into the game in the last decade

Or is it the fact guys are just bigger-Fast and stronger then ever before.They are pushing there bodies to limits.Bones and joints do not get any stronger
Look at the NFL.Guys go down every game.

It may get to a stage where forwards will bash it out for 5-6 yrs and be spent forces

Yep, it's this.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

I think it's both the size/speed of the players, and the emphasis on the wrestle. There's just a lot more scope for injury when two out of three tackles involvetrying to turn a player who is already being held by one or two other defenders. And there's not as many blokes from the country playing, who are innately tougher than the city blokes.

 

[The Phelan Folly]

Yep, it's this.

Yep. I wouldnt be surprised that reducing the number and intensity of the impacts throughout a game wasnt one of the motivations behind the reduction in interchanges.

I guess Gallen will recover in time to do his usual "head down bum up" act in SOO. Does the guy every play club footy?

I think modern day players are just f**kin soft pussies

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I slap them around if I see them in the street. I can't help myself.

You saw me, and you didn't slap me around.
I'm disappointed.
You bastard.

[Poupou Escobar]

You looked much tougher than modern day players Suity. Also, you'll forgive me for not automatically assuming a fat dude in a suit was you.

Going up to random Eels fans in a pub and introducing myself as Pou could end in an awkward situation for everyone.

That's true. It would be awkward.
It would also be awkward, if you had ya missus with you, as I remember you did.
I guess you wouldn't want your missus to meet me. I don't blame you.
I'm f**king hot.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Mate, she took one look at you and slid right off her seat. It was embarrassing!

Mate, I don't blame her.
I wasn't looking my best that day.
I at least thought you might be interested though.
You'd been coming onto me for weeks beforehand.
I wasn't let down though. I was used to it.

No you must have been looking fine. My comment was about excessive vaginal lubrication.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Ewwww.

My mistake.
