[quote="Cuddleclub":q2248f8n]That’s alright then as long as other teams have got injuries we don’t need to access why they keep happening [/quote:q2248f8n] We have concussions because of head high tackles and other injuries because it’s a tough fast athletic contact sport. Last season perhaps we were hard hit because of poor conditioning. Possibly the older players are more injury prone and recover slower. The question is a bit like why do boxers get black eyes?

A disappointing evening. There were a few decent spells, but we gave away far too many metres in the first half, we couldn't get anywhere near them. Different challenge next week, but not sure who will be back? Bourouh I presume will come in for Hutchinson and Ashworth hopefully in for Sao. I think I'd bring Moy in and move Chamberlain to SR with Rapana at centre. Fair play to Fash for sticking his hand up to play there, but it didn't work.

Well, we've still got plenty of work to do to reach their level. Losing Ligi on a stretcher was by far the worst part for me. Not too bothered about the scoreline, I know where the two clubs are right now. That one was a write-off on to the next.

[quote="Chris71":2rabotnq]Disappointing scoreline and again with a big crowd. Wigan are experts at slowing teams down and they did that pretty much all game other than that bright 10mins were we managed to get and play some quicker ball. Also thought defensively Wigan were on the move as we were bending down to ptb where as we were waiting until it was played so they rolled us down the field and we just couldn’t get going. Plenty of positives, we looked much more disciplined,looked better in the wrestle, certainly look fitter and you could see that we do have some structure to our play & Salabio looks like he may well be a pretty good pick up. Thought Barron and Martin again stood up well. Think there definitely signs that there’s more to come but as has been mentioned we have little to no depth once we lose 3 or 4 players. Ligi is a big concern as didn’t look good, also noticed that Asiata went off in the 2nd half and don’t think I saw him on the field or touch line at the end of the game. Definitely need some reinforcements / additions asap. Ultimately Wigan are a class apart and were very clinical tonight and found the holes in our rejigged lines very well and punished us. Happy to be 1 from 2 at this stage, long road ahead as we are very much a work in progress.[/quote:2rabotnq] Asiata took his bib off and was at the back of the team at the after match walk around, didn’t seem to be injured.

Was going to be tough even if we had a full team out. Squad is very thin and now with a few injuries it’s showing but who realistically could we sign..

Not bothered about the result, ae soon as I saw the two teams I knew it would be a hammering, was hoping Wigan would be a bit off, but they were fantastic. Hard not to be downbeat about the injury situation that's 7 players put or released that you could argue would be on the 17. Need to get a couple of players in, no idea who and we're from though. Not even sure if Sao is out for the season and we register him what position I would look at sign, could be centre, halfback, prop or backrow. I suppose I'd go for the player rather than the position. I'd be looking at Pryce, Livett and a quota player.
