The Lions' current injury list is probably the longest that we've had in recent memory:
Cian Hanley (Knee) - Season
Jonathan Freeman (Ankle) - 6-8 weeks
Pearce Hanley (Hip) - Test
Trent West (Knee) - 3 weeks
Jackson Paine (Ankle) - Season
Michael Close (Knee) - Season
Dan Merrett (Hamstring) - Indefinite
Jaden McGrath (Foot) - 8-10 weeks
Matt Maguire (Concussion) - Indefinite
Brent Staker (Hamstring) - 3-4 weeks
Luke McGuane (Knee) - Indefinite
Dan McStay (Finger) - 1-2 weeks
Jack Redden (Back) - Test
Jed Adcock (Calf) - 3 weeks
James Aish (Jaw) - 4-5 weeks
Tom Rockliff (Ribs) - 4-6 weeks
Darcy Gardiner (Calf) - 1-2 weeks
Claye Beams (Knee) - TBC
Ryan Harwood (Concussion) - Test
With Daniel Rich also a likely out with hip soreness.
Perhaps not an issue for a team with depth of experience, however Brisbane are famously short on that at the moment, compounded by the fact that their small amount of experience for the most part is contained in that injury list.
It got me to thinking what the longest injury lists have been across the league over the last 20 years or so. Further to that, what has been the most devastating injury list in terms of team performance?
