Injures : Sun May 22, 2016 8:01 pm  

Does anybody have timescales for players to return from injury. Looks like Matty is now side lined for a while.

Penny
Sandow
Dodds
Russell
Atkins
Evans (both)
Hughes
Dwyer
Laithwaite
Harrison
Patton?

As disappointing as Newcastle magic was, its kinda understandable with this lot missing. Trouble is that other teams are now getting healthy and we are losing more bodies each week it seems

Re: Injures : Sun May 22, 2016 8:32 pm  

BWW ,did Toby King get injured again yesterday ?

Re: Injures : Sun May 22, 2016 8:40 pm  

FFS, a thread on injuries, now we're hitting a slump. Are we Wigan in disguise?

Ladies and Gents, can I take you back to a time when I used to buy match day programmes.
Cast your mind back to that great night in 1989, when we THRASHED the newly crowned "World Champs" in a LCCSF. In his notes, Brian Johnson wrote "injuries are a fact of life. You have to deal with them".

This is why we have a squad.

The only "serious" problems in the original list are
Sandow....imminant return, and to the same extent, Dwyer
Hughes and Penny....both been in great form
and we only lost Russell yesterday.
The rest we've learnt to live with.

This drop in results is not down to injury, only lack of attitude/effort.

Let's not turn into a bunch of bitter pie-eaters.

No one is bitter but the problem with injuries is two fold:

1 - When they happen, the resultant shuffle on the field disrupts the play and too much results in plan a & b thrown out of the window

2 - Squad players are not the level of first pick team. Penny would not have dropped the ball yesterday as Ormsby did with the try line open. We was 10 - 0 I think at the time before the Russell breakaway.

No surprise Cas are starting to play better and Hudds when the numbers are coming back. Does anyone think that Leeds are seriously that bad they should be bottom?? Watch them when they get healthy. They will rip the lower 8's to bits and make a farce out of it. All I am saying is that we are not healthy and other teams around us are in better nick so we need to hang on until we get bodies back. Sandow, Atkins and Evans will be a start. Hughes is a big loss for us presently.

As lefty says, injuries are a fact of sporting life. As well as the match he recalls, we again played Widnes in a semi during their pomp years in the Regal in 1991, the year we won it. On that day we were awash with injuries, had players out of position and no-one (including us, in fact especially us) gave us a chance yet we won it at the death.

As well as being a curse, injuries also represent an opportunity for squad players to stake a claim. With that in mind I'm a little disappointed that some fringe players haven't either been given the chance to prove their worth or made it impossible for TS to ignore them.

I don't blame the liss on injuries the team looked like they had them beat at one point so should have been good enough to get the win.

I do believe that the inability to rest and rotate has had an effect on us tho and players are looking jaded but on the positive side it's leeds next sothat should give the lads some confidence!!
