Taken off injured while playing for NI.
Looked like a hamstring.
Will it ever end??

Yeah seen that. Would imagine , even on the good end, it will be a couple of weeks minimum. Hoping it's not more.

He's done an interview....I don't know how to put it on here.....and he doesn't seem too despondent about it. Hopefully the scan will reveal something minor. We can get O9 back in there for a couple of matches,with Cirkin back? These injuries man!

Yeah caught the interview. Doesn't look too fussed but even then it will be a couple of weeks.

He is a big old, powerful unit is Ballard. Wouldn't be taking any chances with a hamstring tweak, one big recovery run and it could be many months out.

There's been a suggestion that we're not managing these young players very well in the physio dept. I think it's your area of expertise......any truth in it do you think?

I know bugger all, but that thought does occur.

Could be just bad luck, could be just a lot of younger players playing a lot more than they are used to. Could be some pre existing injuries. Or it could be that we need some help in the background.

But we seem to be getting a few more than a normal share.

Spot on! Our injuries have been horrendous! It's probably very bad luck....it happens....but it does make you wonder if the players are being conditioned correctly.

No.

I think it's more that the same young players are simply playing too much due to lack of quality in squad depth. Not to mention, it's mostly the highest level any of them have played therefore, intensity is significantly higher thus increased probability of injuries.
