Welcome to the Tigers Nathan Broad
- Thread starter tigersnake
- Start date
Broady mightve been a chance at getting back in the finals but it looks like they might've gone too hard too early with his return and shanked it.
No need to be risking the agility and mobility of two of our best athletes who rely so much on their agility and athleticism.

Agree as our season is all but over not worth risking all those currently injured by hurrying them back. Would be happier to have them all cherry ripe for the start of next season
Impact injuries cannot be prevented but it does appear on face value that our managment of injured athletes hasn’t been handled as well as in previous seasons when Rob Innes was in charge of strength and conditioning.
Players breaking down during rehab, having further set backs and in some cases, like Prestia, coming back underdone.
Wasn’t long ago, players were coming back from injury in absolute peak condition.
Or we are just having an extraordinary run of bad luck.

I don’t think it’s coincidence that where he is is having an extraordinary run of good luck...
Yep Innes was a key plank of our success, as were Leppa and Macrae, and we lost all of em.
Or he pushed to come back too soon. If he came back it would have been the quickest return from a syndesmosis of all time.
Think we confused good luck and superior management in the 2017-2019 run. Not just in injury and fitness areas but right across the club.
Josh Bruce fir Dogs shows what bad luck can mean. Surely no one says his injury was due to the dogs having an inferior fitness coach.
We could do with Broad's height 192 (6-3.5) and agility for spoiling or intercept marking right now. Our half-backs Stack, Rioli, Martyn and sometimes Baker are all under 180 and may be found out tonight when we are not playing the bottom side.
With Nathan we know what we will get. He may not be an 'A' grader skill wise but he works and runs all day for the cause leaving nothing left in the tank at the final siren. Each year he has improved so expect the same again from my boy!
