Some of you guys on here make me laugh - ' freeloaders', 'sick note', 'shirkers'.
Anyone would think these guys like being injured and don't want to play.
Does anybody think that in a full contact sport guys are not going to be out with injuries?
Some players seem more prone to picking up injuries, but that's just life. I would argue with anyone who says that they are 'freeloaders'.
The key point is that ideally you don't have injury prone players in your squad, but EVERY club does because of the nature of the sport.
I guess most of you haven't had a dislocated shoulder or a torn hamstring or an ankle reconstruction. If you had you'd realise what you were saying was complete rubbish.
