It seems no matter how many forwards we have, our first choices are hardly ever all available! Been like this for years.
no more than Smithies and hes not had any, its the conditioning, they do zero work on the hamstrings
What conditioning work can they do on hamstrings?
It seems to be a big problem this season at so many clubs. I was speaking to a current superleague player last night and he suggested that some of the training pitches they use are very poor. His team have had more than their share of hamstring injuries this season.

I'm certainly no expert but a while ago when Liverpool FC had a spate of hamstring and groin injuries, they traced it back to the surfaces that training took place on. Things have moved on since then and my case is nothing like a professional player but the only hamstring and groin problems I had was in pre-season indoor training on a gym surface that we found not to have the required absorption material. Can't believe that the club has that kind of problem but it might be worth a look as it's easy to check out and strike it off the list if there's nothing wrong there..
