No podcast this week - only minor hamstring issues for Tom Opacic & Taylan May as we head into the #NRLGF, which is a good thing! James & Brien will be back after the GF to review the injuries heading into the RLWC & 2023 preseason.

Some interesting stats on a Friday: In pro Esports, 40-45% of players require treatment for pain/injury. Career duration is not associated with BMI or fat ratio. For comparison, in the NRL 75-85% of players are injured each season.

We dive into why there’s a middle ground between severity of injury and severity of punishment/suspension when it comes to illegal tackles. Full 15 minute discussion/rant & all the injury analysis @ linktr.ee/nrlphysio @nrlphysio @nrlmagicsponge
