Matt Innes has been there for about 4 months

Paul Turk started either just before or just after Christmas

Mark Kilgallon started late 2022

Those three head up our S&C/High Performance replacing staff who’d all been there for 10+ years

We’ve just had an overhaul and made significant changes to the way we train which if you listen to Pyke came with an accepted risk that some injuries would occur

Thanks for clarifying, I wasn't sure about all the backroom staff, where do the players get their scans done? Or is it just wherever...

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

That culture you're talking about seems to be working pretty well for us right now, doesn't it?

There's a big difference between playing out a game with an injury, and starting a game potentially injured. One is to be admired, the other is selfish...especially when we have young players in the wings who are ready to step in.

Sure. I agree with this, but you need to account for the facts we had on hand at the time.

We were conservative with Allen, rested him from Adelaide pre-season game and sent him for scans that came back clear.

He was healthy and medically fit to play. So in that regard, there is no reason for him not to play.

His knee being strapped tells me that he wasnt 100% fit to play, but that is just an assumption as well never actually know the inside facts.

Ultimately, I guess you just have more faith than I do right now when it comes to the club making medical decisions.

So you’re saying the club decided to rest him, send him for scans, found something concerning on the scans and decided to strap him up and send him out?

This doesn’t make sense to me.

 

[Dugg]

So you’re saying the club decided to rest him, send him for scans, found something concerning on the scans and decided to strap him up and send him out?

This doesn’t make sense to me.

No. I'm saying he probably still had some sort of knee soreness, hence the strapping. But like I said, that's just me making assumptions.

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

No. I'm saying he probably still had some sort of knee soreness, hence the strapping. But like I said, that's just me making assumptions.

I’d agree. But the main thing here (for me atleast) is the scans were clear.

If you’re medically cleared then becomes about pain management. Players play sore every week.

If we’re going to rest players because they’re sore. We won’t be able to field a team.

 

[Quinz]

The Flynn injury really has deflated the start of the season for me. Just needed a competitive ruck division to see what our kids could do in the middle.

It's really an issue.
Barnett has shown enough for me to say he's worth persisting with but he's still so young, gets monstered by mature bodies at this stage.

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

The Flynn injury really has deflated the start of the season for me. Just needed a competitive ruck division to see what our kids could do in the middle.

3 players we couldn’t afford to lose structurally are Flynn, Oscar and Gov and we lost 2 out of 3 to longer term injuries.

With Flynn it’s very hard to see young players develop when they need to be so reactive.

It’s a tough slog.

 

[Quinz]

It's really an issue.
Barnett has shown enough for me to say he's worth persisting with but he's still so young, gets monstered by mature bodies at this stage.

Ruck is the only position in the game these days where you are completely one on one. And it relies so much on strength and experience. You'll just get beaten 40 times in a row when you're a young kid.

 

[Sammy J]

The Flynn injury really has deflated the start of the season for me. Just needed a competitive ruck division to see what our kids could do in the middle.

That’s been an absolute back breaker. A big, mature legit ruck who can give us first use would make a world of difference. Not enough to make us good, but it would help.

100% that was the kicker, everything could have flowed after

Annoying. His highlights package looked so good

In recent interview, Matt Flynn has said he’s targeting rd7 to be back playing, which would be a couple of weeks better than listed in our official injury reports.

Really looking forward to seeing Flynn get a good run at it. He’s a quality ruck.

Harley Ginbey and yeo getting hit outs to advantage...

True, it was less George Floyd and more fake Mafia boss.
