HOW CAN YOU NOT JUDGE A SEASONS PERFORMANCE WITHOUT EQUATING THE PROPORTIONATE NUMBER OF INJURED PLAYERS ! To not have a full squad for a majority of a season however, (you address it as you want) has to have a baring on your overall seasons performance,I would like to see how rovers would cope with upto 9 first team players not at your dissposal for a "majority" of the season.
Who rattled your cage?... with a signature such as yours you deserve what you get on the HKR Forum!

I am sure we all hope there are fewer injuries to talk about next year. I for one am sick of them whining on about it (joke!).
In terms of numbers, probably about the same number missing both years (6 through injury every week, plus Crocker and Lauaki who never turned up). The reason we can't claim injuries as the sole reason for our shocking results is Agar. His job was to get the maximum out of what he had available, depleted though it may have been. He didn't. Which makes me think next season will not be much better, despite the overall improvement in the squad.

cheers mate.
the big problem getting ozzies over here now is the interest rate.
last year it was .40 now its .54!
so a year ago you could offer a player 100,000 pounds and they'd get $250,000
now you offer them 100,000 pounds and they get $185185.
thats a massive reduction especially when you consider the big players (smith, inglis) are reportedly on $500,000 and players like lockyer and folau are on $400,000.
so Lockyer would need 216,000 pounds just to be on the same wage were as last year he'd have only needed 160,000 pounds.

The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.

Good post, I think even the most red tinted glasses wearer would see that FC's injuries have had an impact on there season. Where I think the arguement falls down a bit is with the complaint of not having a consistant run of a half back pairing. As far as I'm aware they had a reasonably injury free run at 6 and 7 this year (Horne got an inury late in the season I think). The fact they recruited an extremely poor No7 is the a major contributing factor they performed poorly last year.
Add that to the recruitment for next year a 34 (i think) year old No7 and I think they can expect him to miss 5+ games this season and more next. Similar with Fitzgibbon, I would expect him to have a spell on the sidelines through injury, purley on an age factor. So IF this happens then its no longer bad luck, merely recruitment of players that you can expect a level of injury from.

Mildl & yourself can make this board so boring some-times Your not suppose to talk any sense, if Cheeky was stil here there would be hell to pay
Most teams suffer injuries during a season but most teams don't constanty go on and on and on and on about them.

I'M SURE THERE IS NO CORRELATION BETWEEN THE FACT THAT THE FRONT RUNNERS FOR THE 2009 MEDIA WHINGING AWARD ARE FROM GATESHEAD AND HULL FC, FORMERLY THE B*ST*RD-TWINS OF ONE OF RUGBY LEAGUE'S LOUSIER IDEAS.
