You left out the key point that the staff didn't feel recovery times were bad at all. Its selective quoting and the full quote proves my point whereas your selective quote is something that the crazies will jump on.

I didn't misquote him.

I also provided a link, so its not really selective either.

However it also shows that your point isn't as strong as you think it is. Mayer has stated clearly that the medical facilities are not good enough. Just because recovery times are okay according to the staff, doesn't mean that they can't be better.

You seem to be arguing that "close enough is good enough"

You will find that people here aren't saying the staff are injuring our players or suggesting there's a conspiracy theory, rather that our staff aren't as good as they could be.

Be it through lack of training or lack of facilities is unclear.

But Mayer has stated that these do need to be investigated shows that there clearly is room for improvement.

Allow yourself to be a bit reasonable.

I'll put it this way to you.

Do you think we should continue to investigate and analyse our medical and rehabilitative facilities and services to see if we are performing at the best we can and on a par with the best teams in the NRL?

If you answer yes, then you agree with the majority of the sentiments of other posters here

Definitely not true. My point is freaken rock solid.

Mayer has stated clearly that the medical facilities are not good enough. Just because recovery times are okay according to the staff, doesn't mean that they can't be better.

It does mean though that there is absolutely no proof for the reasoning that our medical staff are the reason for our poor season or seasons.

You seem to be arguing that "close enough is good enough"

Definitely not.

You will find that people here aren't saying the staff are injuring our players or suggesting there's a conspiracy theory, rather that our staff aren't as good as they could be.

Which is just complete and utter bullshit. People are stating that our medical staff and facilities are the reason we aren't winning games but there is not one teeny little fact to back that up.

Just to be clear as well anyone stating that our medical staff are incompetent and that is why our players are getting injured or taking longer than normal to get back on the field are creating a stupid conspiracy theory. Its that simple.

Allow yourself to be a bit reasonable.

I am always extremely reasonable.

Do you think we should continue to investigate and analyse our medical and rehabilitative facilities and services to see if we are performing at the best we can and on a par with the best teams in the NRL?

I agree with this comment but I would extend it and state that any investigation should include all aspects of the on-field performance which includes the coaching staff and the players. I also think the Brian Smith review was meant to do exactly that.

If you answer yes, then you agree with the majority of the sentiments of other posters here

I see a pretty significant difference. The difference being that I dwell in reality and do not spew forth a bunch of BS that is completely illogical with no basis in fact or reason.

I would agree with this point on occasions points but not on this topic. The reason is really simple - you have no proof or facts to back up your argument and you are not utilizing logical reasoning within the topic that is being discussed.

MU has posted plenty of facts about our injury tolls and the CEO saying that more can be done.
You need to take a step back and stop speaking bullshit. You have nothing to justify your stupid opinion. I'd go so far to say that the comments related to injuries are basically crazy.

you are the one with his head in the sand saying that everything is fine.

it's not a conspiracy, bullshit, stupid opinion or crazy to say that the Tigers are clearly missing something in the area's of strength and conditioning training or medical recovery process. as a minimum surely we can all agree that the club should investigate what more can be done for the players health?

If Potter had been f**king re-signed earlier he could be scouring the ESL for a strike centre.
He can't do shit now because he doesn't even know if he's there next year.

Stupid situation to be in, all thanks to the f**king board

Very good point.

What is all this turmoil doing to our recruiting plans?

Need two strike centres.

The two seasons prior to this one my season tickets have been right in front of the Wests Ashfield corporate box at Leichhardt Oval. Dennis Burgess did nothing but bag the team, claim that Lidcombe Oval should be played at before Leichhardt, complain about the standard of everything (food, wait staff etc) and one day launch into a tirade about how at the previous board meeting the Balmain faction had deliberately ordered food they know he doesn't like just to make him uncomfortable.

2012 Rick Wayde in the same box started rumours about Sheens, Benji & Robbie. The following week Rothfield writes an article that cites "unnamed sources" which quoted Wayde almost verbatim.

Dawn Fraser leaks to Ritchie and is just as disparaging about the Joint Venture.

Time to gut the board, move training facilities to somewhere state of the art (I don't care where) and slowly rid the club of the overpaid dead wood gifted contracts by previous admins

Are you fair dinkum???? Unbelievable!!!

You want us to cut a guy we just re-signed?

Akaoula just needs work on his defence.

And he's not the only one.

His defence has been good barring the match they stuck him on the wing!

I stand corrected his work rate is low and he misses 1/4 tackles.

Big, fast and can catch and pass.

Simona & Nofa should be our wingers.

Utterly independent board required as our current one actively leaks damaging rumours to the press, undermines the JV to anyone who will ask and is generally unqualified.

Take Harry T and Meriton out of the equation and we are poison that name sponsors simply do not want to touch. It isn't because we play a boring brand of football, it isn't because we are not given exposure on FTA television. It is a utterly inept management and that starts at the head.
