Thanks
so on that basis if correct we are unlikely to see Levy,Bienek and Langtree together in the first team even though we may have no established front rows available this weekend

Shines a light on how challenging our injury position has been, that's for sure. Of our first pick 17 not that many who've played 9 rounds. 6?

I think questions need asking about why injuries are so bad now, not just at FC, across the game.

It may be coincidence, but there a lot of knee injuries in the game now (and in football as well) I wonder if advances in pitch technology and boot design are a contributing factor?

The cost of the top 25 players will be pretty much fixed, so that leaves around 5 players extra before the cap limit is reached. Ellis and Savelio have probably complicated it even more.

U21's are treated differently, I've just had a look at the cap rules again, and they appear to be different from a couple of months ago.
It now suggests that U21's don't count on the cap. (Page 276)??
I'll have another look when my brain stops hurting.

It could well be, also players being "too fit" so muscles/ligaments damage more easily.

That’s a bit of an oxymoron! So unfit fat players don’t get knee problems?

Miloudi deal now a permanent move, so that gives us a bit more space on the cap.

sounds like thats been rushed through so we can play one of the three players we have discussed at Catalan

No, it's not an oxymoron, sometimes atheletes are prone to injury because of over training, look up oxymoron. Why do you think race horses pull up?

That is a very strange article to even know about!

Don’t thee read ull daily mail, in library.

Kendal is the ref for Cats, Mickey Mouse video ref, god.

Best this week rider.

Two gone now

time for the new breed

Nah! Oxymoron is right - contradiction in terms. Injuries occur if your not fit. Our problem is the speed of the game, high impacts, massive players, too many games over a short period does not allow the body to fully recover. The games changed so much more systems and formats and less flare of an individual player.

We'll agree to disagree, I know a lot of sprinters and, equally, distance runners, who are so finely tuned they get injured, also race horses.

I haven’t got any race horse friends.

You clearly just want to try and score points, which is a bit pathetic IMHO.

Perhaps not but I'm sure you've come across a lot of donkeys on this forum!!

hopefully might see langtree Leroy or benik sat, be interesting to see how there go, freshen things up a bit

Houghton and Taylor doubtful for this weekend.

The only points I want to see scored are in FC’s win on Saturday.
Saw Mini in the post office when I was getting me Euros, he wasn’t over confident, hope Catalan’s pack doesn’t steamroller us. Try not to be so paranoid, it was a joke. By the way I don’t have any sprinter mates either. My daughter does Triathlon though

So Litten, but we’re already struggling for front rowers!! Hope to goodness Taylor makes it
