Is there a higher number of injuries on that pitch compared to all the others, or is it just something that people notice when it happens there?

If it does cause more injuries, wouldn't that affect Widnes more than others. Do they have far more leg injuries than all the other clubs?

Do we train on their pitch, which would explain all the injuries we have had over the past few seasons...
Footballers spend 90 minutes pretending they're injured. Rugby League players spend 80 minutes pretending they're not.

Is this the start of our injury nightmare? Such bad luck for Joe!

So are we to excuse Wane for not playing Tomkins on that pitch again

And the 3 or 4 others.

He's always had a cautious approach to this fixture, for obvious reasons - perhaps all the posts re Team selection for this game can now understand why ?

Gutted for joe but watching the replays he seem to just land funnily...... nothing to do with the pitch imo........ i still dont agree with that pitch though...... time to go back to normal

Shame for joe. Started to show some real good form. Let’s just hope he recovers from this bad injury well.
The only upside is that he won’t be leaving for the NRL anytime soon now
