Injuries are part and parcel of the game, I was forever breaking bones when I was a kid but hardly did anything when older, what worries me slightly is I think we’ve 8 over 30 and at this age it’s starts taking longer to recover, players are by no means finished but it gets harder to shake the clouts off. As for fitness it helps a lot but good conditioning doesn’t prepare you for falling awkward, head clashes or taking one on the back.

What a bizarre thread. We barely scraped past Leeds who had 12 players out and you're waving the white flag?

You might lose, going away to back to back Champions is always a likely defeat, but I can't see any reason why it'll be a blowout. We're not up to speed yet and our attack in particular is very clunky.

Never meant to imply hampshire was made to play. Was probably a case of him putting his hand up and wanting to play for the team thinking he was ready

I respect your opinion but at the moment we couldn’t score in a brothel

I miss the early days of Super League when we seem to always have a good record against Saints. It's one game against the top 4 that I always went to knowing we would give you a game. I don't think we've beat yourselves since 2017 at yours.

Just you wait, mate. You think your attack is clunky?

We take clunky to an whole new level.

Says who? This may be the case with normal folk but are you seriously suggesting any of our players are so unfit they fall into that category, really!

'tired bodies get hurt easier fatigue cause injuries'

So how can we be fatigued after 3 games? Even if it does play a part I have seen plenty a fresh player who isn't even nominally fatigued step on a pitch and be instantly injured.

Straw clutching or what.

Are you really that cluless...fatigue can set in during a game. Irrelivent of how many games you have played.fatigue while also putting more stress on the body also affects the mind hence as a rugby players things like a tackeling technique can go wrong which as the possiblity of causing injury.no not all injurys are due to fitness i never claimed that esp in a sport like rugby but it can deffo play a big part

Are you Musson in disguise?

Sorry unfair, you're better than that, at least you attempt to debate.

It's not just me saying it.

I agreed about fatigue, by the way, my point if you'd bothered to read it was that three games in fatigue should not yet be an issue.

Let's get rid of one myth straight away. All SL clubs train roughly the same way, there will be a few differences but this isn't the 1980's, nobody has an advantage now as Wigan did then.

Our training is as rigorous as anyone else. The only area that may differ is the players own extra training. Better players tend to do more out of club conditioning, sadly those players are the best and unless you have not noticed we can't afford those.

My point remains. you were hinting and don't pretend you weren't that Trinity players are suffering an unusually high injury rate due to the coaching staffs methods, which I think is wrong, I've called you out on it, you're entitled to an opinion, so am I.

A poor tackling technique isnt down to fatigue....
Its down to a poor tacking technique...
