injuries

[1978]

Given we are out of finals contention, I'd be giving injured players more recovery time, with a view to 2019

Why rush Walker back.. give him the rest of season to get body right after horrific injuries.

Same for Api and Jorge if needed.

Like all fans, I want to see us win, but would prefer a healthy squad for start of 2019 pre-season.

As long as we avoid the spoon too.

I'm more worried about our fitness trainers not getting us up for this standard of rugby league. We first lost Croker, and then they started falling like 9 pins. Are our trainers up to speed, and if not, get rid of them and get Donny Singe back!

He was our fitness trainer for 13 years, all the way through our "Decade of Dominance"

Api is out for the rest of the year I believe.

Unfortunately most, if not all of the injuries we have copped this year have been fractures, dislocations, ACL ruptures etc all of which can generally not be conditioned in any preventative manner.

yep, not much in the muscle injury side, mostly just bad luck.

Can happen to the best of them Croker at Canberra is out for the year now, 27 years old and well over 200 games already.

Get the crew who keep the Illawarra players injury-free. At the very least get the name of their pharmacist.

I think he’s like round 23 or something , TBH I’d let him recuperate we have nothing to lose at this point.

Problem mate, is if we get the spoon, not only should Barrett get sacked, the roster should be well and truly turned over.

Barrett would struggle to get another gig at Belrose after that performance.

They need to continue to perform, and prove they aren't as pathetic as they appear right now.

Mate I think they will , all they need is a consistent team from one week to the next ( and for a few weeks).

Yes we don’t have a superstar team nor a team of superstars but FMD, almost every week there’s a new combination due to injuries.

How the team , and for that matter the coach can hope for that winning feeling each week is beyond me.

If we could put the same team on the paddock until the end of the year ( plus hopefully Dylan at some stage) I think we might surprise a few teams.

Maybe!!

I think teams come up against the Steelers and based on history, still can't get their head around that they actually have to play them, and play them hard.
