Injuries and the Bulldogs.

Posted by GRUNTA - Death of a Salesman on July 20, 2015 at 6:48am

Before Friday nights game I said to a mate, "I bet we come out with a few injuries maybe even season ending".

We did.

Last time we played them the field looked like a battle field at times with Parra troops laying injured all over the field.

Now, is this because the dogs are just a hard team who are brutal in defense?

Is it because Hasler employs strategies and ways to make this happen?

I think it's bad luck more than anything

It's he result of trying to hard and putting your body through torture to cover for those that pull their finger out.

  ...or those that WON'T pull their finger out?
  Just makes you wonder though when last match there were five injuries and similar this time?
  That's around 9-10 in two matches.

I've said the same thing to others. There's something about playing the Dogs that can create the worst for us - form, injuries, luck. Results wise, they are often better focussed than we are. Maybe mentally they have greater faith in themselves.

Did anyone see any instances of dirty play? (maybe Sandows shoulder charge). I saw a lot of tough football.

I'm starting to think it's a combination of tough and hard footy from the dogs and our blokes having to cover for an inept half defensively as some have mentioned.
Defending basically with 12 men.
