Leeds Rhinos coach Rohan Smith has revealed the best way to avoid future injuries as an under-strength team prepare for Saturday’s tough game at Catalans Dragons.
Eleven members of Rhinos’ full-time squad are on the casualty list, including three forwards with long-term concussions and two backs who picked up injuries in the win over London Broncos last week. Hopes centre Harry Newman could return after two games out with a back problem were dashed when he was missing from the 21 named yesterday .
We have made good gains in reducing certain injuries, but the extended concussions are really hard to account for and no one can really tell you how to reduce those, other than not to play. There are some things you can do in terms of strengthening necks and technique, but those are really difficult ones - you can’t really account for those.” Of Rhinos’ other injuries, Smith reckons most are the result of incidents which inevitably happen at times in a combat sport.
