News Injuries & Suspensions

But you know the injuries are coming one way or another, so planning means you have a buffer. If you planned to have 20 on field you can cop two surprise outs without getting a donut. If you haven't planned, the two surprise outs will likely hurt way more. Of course there will always be some douche who did no planning and cops no injuries, or has completely lopsided byes and cops injuries at only the luckiest times, but who wants to be that guy? And long term it won't work.
hahaha my team of outcasts will be pumping out 2700's at ease.
Might be slightly easier for coaches to cover short term Injuries through the byes though.
Grundy getting "rested" could make things intetesting
To be honest I haven't paid any attention at all to the byes so no idea how my team is looking for Rd 13 & 14.

All fair points.
In my best SC year I did minimal bye planning and took players I wanted when their price was right. Other years I have planned and planned and got shafted by circumstances and injury.
I think to have a really good year you need a combination of luck and skill. With the wealth of information and skill out there it mostly comes down to luck imo.

Hear, Hear.
Surprised at the reaction and would prefer to hear confirmation from the Giants or a more credible source in relation to GWS issues such as Adam Curley.
Cameron in the post match presser mentioned “He wanted to come back on but we didn’t want to risk him late in the game. I’m proud of how tough he is and expect him to be fine”.
Also a tweet from NRL Physio earlier in the season explaining burners/stingers.

I hope Hurn's 31yr 8mth body agrees with you 
West Coast don't play games with injuries... He'll have scans and either be ruled in or out. None of this crap that a few other teams play.
From crows website on Sloane
Crows co-captain Rory Sloane will be closely monitored this week after scans have revealed a minor medial hamstring strain in his right leg.
Sloane sustained the injury in the second quarter of Adelaide’s clash with Melbourne on Saturday night after lunging to tackle and did not return to the game.
“Rory has already commenced his rehab. This involves treatment and loading inclusive of running today,” Crows General Manager of High Performance Matt Hass said.
“Given the nature and location of the injury, and the fact that he was removed from play means he has every opportunity to recover by the weekend so we won’t rule him out of this weekend’s game.”
Hass confirmed Sloane would be reassessed daily and decisions made later in the week with regards to his availability for Round 12.
Doesn't sound like he could play this week, but, Adelaide giving hope and dragging it out to gameday again ala Crouch.
