Manlys bash and barge game plan is a concern and in my opinion a massive contributor to our injury toll. Manly have played a bash and barge game for years now and players like choc have had to endure state of origin intensity for far to long
Many sides have struggled with manlys intensity the week after playing manly, but manly turn up and play it again. ITs great to watch, the collisions, the hits, the smashing but it has to take a toll.
Add to that, we keep playing them injured, busted, never allowing them time to heal. If we are going to play that style we have to rotate them a bit and give them time but we never do.
You create your own luck they say, and manly are definately setting themselves up for a injury toll. A freakin chip and satelite system isnt going to stop busted shoulders
