It’s been spoken about for years, but our injuries and conditioning staff have been woeful for nearly a decade now and it’s only getting worse.
It can’t come down to bad luck anymore. I understand that injuries happen, but there are so many recurring injuries.
I’ve read that we did cheap out on our medical team due to Covid and managing our debt.
We can get new players, 12 new coaches, new staff and do a massive clean out but if most of the team is injured, unfit, lack of prevention measures etc it’s a complete waste imo.
It affects our confidence, development, fitness, success, future trades and way more. Missing out on so much when “some” (not all) can be managed better and or prevented.
I think this needs to be spoken about more from Noble and the club. In many years we have been a bit hush, hush on the bad management of our conditioning staff and medical team.
Would love to hear that we’ve identified that’s it’s something we need to address in the near future.
