What an odd post - you seem to be suggesting he's just being a bit 'soft' and somehow contributed to his own injuries. He's had knee ligament injuries (to my knowledge nobody is 'harder' than those) and now a concussion that requires neurosurgeons to be involved to resolve - again not of his own making.

RigbyLuger Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 We talk of player welfare, of 'State of Mind' then go on to call players "fragile" for injuries which are no fault of their own. Poor form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graveyard johnny Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 i was quoting a previous poster on the word fragile - maybe injury prone or unlucky may be better? i won't hesitate to describe png and storm centre tough and hard though - cos he is! see you later undertaker - in a while necrophile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southerner Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Today’s NRL matches saw a flurry of sinbins and on-reports.... some of the commentators seem resistant to the “softening” of the game. It’s going to be tough for a few weeks whilst the players get used to the stricter rules but ultimately we’re going to be left with a safer game and less concussions/injuries. Short term pain for long term game I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short term pain for long term game I think! The game tonight, Leeds v Wakey... several physios on for head injuries. The fact that no one was concussed was just luck. Several of these were not penalised, and the possibly most dangerous was not sin binned and was just accidental. These incidence were the result of the nature of the game.

Short term pain for long term game I think! There will be no game at all shortly if that's the case. No effective tackling at all. All we see is 2 defenders at the most hanging on as a defender rumbles forward until he finally falls over. Only 2 because the 3rd is scared to death of tackling round the legs. The game has made a joke of itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graveyard johnny Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 physios running on and off the pitch like busy bees is a great strategy for teams to gain advantages, stall plays or get a rest etc etc - soon physios will be part of the game plan the way its going see you later undertaker - in a while necrophile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give your anti-Wigan” specs a polish. Good grief, another one. Hull FC....The Sons of God...
