Nothing ever is, so why bother distinguishing. Everything is fine. Including conditioning to prevent injuries.

Happy?

Given the Banks bone break and Taranto concussion, you have to wonder if Serpell has not been including collarbone & brain strengthening in the players programs

So are you saying all the soft tissue injuries are Serpells fault?

 

[Truetiger]

This guy is a wrecking ball

Today’s injuries of Banks and Taranto definitely aren’t on him. It would be nice to finish a game injury-free for once.

What about the farken hammy though? That’s on him for sure

 

[rammmbo]

I blame all injuries on Serpell until someone can prove otherwise .

 

[Jozzy]

I know Serpell was not at the club for 2024 but this cannot just be blamed on back luck, something is seriously wrong.

With five know injuries this weekend as well the numbers are only going to get worse.

["The Roar Is Back"]

The physical shape players fronted up to round 1 is on the fitness and conditioning staff.
Faul, Traibir , brown and Balta in particular all come into the season well out of shape . You merely only needed to look at them to see they aren’t fit .
Whilst how the **** is it the Sampson Ryan can remain the size of a 17 draftee after 5 years on the list ?
Fawcett hasn’t put on any size .
Our players aside from Lalor , merely from looking at them don’t look anywhere near physically primed .

The Banks injury is arguably on LDU. Hands pulling down on the traps, not even called a high tackle.

I actually had a dream last night we brought back Peter Burge.

Armstrong, Mansell, Sims and Smillie injuries are concerning and I refuse to beleive they are just bad luck.

There’s an obvious issue with the conditioning program that’s contributed to this.

And as others have mentioned, why our talls haven’t improved their strength in their time here is baffling.

The CEO has said there’s nothing to see here which is baffling. But it means that the blow torch should now be on the coaching team.

Putting the poor performances this season down to bad luck is shocking management.
