I'm not a big stat analyzer but I've got a bee in my bonnet about the way the Codheads and Wigin and mebbe a couple of others play the game.
Its complicated a little with the double Easter games that have had to be played but tbf, both Wigin and the Codheads had injury issues before that.
I don't care if they knock themselves senseless if that's how they want the game to go, but I'm not happy about them visiting those tactics and the associated risks, on us.
I can't be bothered to do research to back any of this up with injury facts, all I'm going on is the games I see them play, the cards issued, and the ridiculous number of panel referrals sent up for scrutiny every flippin week, its the same old same old list of Hull, Wigin, Leigh.
Its not just one a game, its 4 or 5 questionable actions every week, whether they're charged or not, it shouldn't be happening.
Dunno the details of the injuries we got after the Wigin game, missed it all on holiday but it comes as no surprise.
I expect injuries after playing wigin, I expect injuries after playing Hull, why is that

Dear oh dear. Its a tough game and people do get hurt. Have you noticed that all teams are carrying injuries.

For once I agree all teams have injuries it's how you deal wth them - we have no special problems in this regard.

He's right like - it's bloody ridiculous.

of course

you're not really addressing the issue though unless.....there is no issue

Radford is responsible for the way the team plays, I have no idea why there is such disparity between Hull and Wakey's disciplinary count, they're both in similar positions well up the league, I'm sure Hull have $h1t loads more money to spend on back up players so finance can't be it, I dunno...I dunno where else there is to go.

We had what I think would be six first choice players missing today too and won at Salford. Doubt Wakefield or Hull's injuries will get a mention though since neither of us are called Wigan or Leeds.

If you really look carefully, you will notice its the likes of yourself who are mentioning injuries.

Wane stated both teams had players missing. The whole point of the thread was Radfords comments, which quite rightly were a jab at the RFL for organising 2 double header weekend partly for an event which never took place.

ALL clubs players have been unnecessarily over exerted. This leads to injury and ultimately lack of quality on show.

Its not about injury. Look at Cas today, they have "rested" a number of key player to protect their long term interests. Thats through the fortune of not having much in the way of injuries at the moment

There is no issue. A lot depends on how different referees see things.

I like Radford, he's only speaking up for the welfare of his and every other clubs players.
If the RFL continues to bow to SKY, the game will be in tatters,reduced to a low grade sport and dropped by SKY, when it has served it's purpose, to be replaced by more football from obscure countries.

If you look even more carefully, you'll find it's Sky who constantly go on about how many players Wigan or Leeds have out, conveniently forgetting that every team has injuries. We had nine out today and won away at Salford, Hull had plenty out against Wigan. Both teams still won, you just have to cope. Although if Wigan or Leeds had won with that many out the Sky team would be making sure people knew about it.

here in lay the crux of the matter. Personal bias / narrow mindedness.

Did you see the pic on twitter of Josh Griffins "touch" on the official in France compared to Luke Gales full on hug of a referee? No difference.

If you expect injuries after playing a particular team, let Chester know, I am sure he'd be glad of your input. Actually, don't, he appears to be doing just fine with out it at the moment and long may that last for all the Trin fans I know.

I;ll be at the game on 23rd June. Just hoping for your sake there is a fleet of Ambulances available to ferry the Trin players home
