You kick for touch at every available opportunity, you crawl to form scrums, you query the referee umpteen times and you cut mistakes to the bare minimum to complete sets and hopefully spend as much time as possible in the opp 20.
But wane would have to have a brain to coach that

Was listening to a NFL programme late on earlier in the week and I was gobsmacked they avoid any tackling and excessive physical contact due to wear and tear it has through the season given the impact injuries on players.

I have never believed that Wanes methods were an issue until I looked at statement the following day. How many players have we got that are injured and how many are injured through over training.

MM was unluck broken ankle but some of the others I do wonder if its the over training that is the root cause of it.

So wait are you saying that im wrong to believe injuries effected todays result in anyway and that we haven't got to multiple GF in a row and were minutes and a ref decision of getting the shield last year.
Get the blinkers off. There were enough regular first teamers n that squad not get nilled and concede 62 points.

Last year means diddly squat as if it ever meant anything anyway since we didn't win a thing.

Far too easy an excuse is injuries with players like Mossop, Tautai, Clubb, Smith, Isa and several other first team regulars taking to the field.
I like my blinkers. They are cherry and white with and a bit of traffic warden yellow slapped on this year.

These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

Listening to radio Leeds on way home from 4 year olds birthday party ( and to think I was swearing at daughter in law arranging party today when his birthday is tomorrow) thank goodness radio Leeds remarking on Cas comeback v Widnes remarked that Widnes 18-0 up in even time because Hampshire gifted them all three with dropped kicks.

The worry is Gimble, the Wane reaction will be to beast the players after a defeat like this and have the players beating the crap out of each other.

Mine too CP.

Last time we had a crisis like this was 2006 injury wise and I always remember Brian Noble's interview in the papers and he said most if not all were back training including Danny Orr.

I do think we are heading for a crisis point with injuries were lucky we got a decent start otherwise with the injuries we got Leeds could have had company.

Stalker alert!

As for the comment from Gimble, our injuries have occurred during games this season unless you can prove otherwise then it's a mute point!!
