Is the NBL injury toll high this season?

KR knows. That's it.

Another question if a player gets injured after the 8 minimum games played is he allowed to be replaced.

Just on Jackson, how exactly do the qualifying rules work? Do his games for MU count? Or must he play the full qualifier of games with any new team?

Yes, it seems to be high. Most seasons have a fair few injuries, but it feels slightly higher or more frequent this time.

I gather there aren't too many decent Aussies around, especially guards, who are available as replacements. Hence why Perth and Sydney had no signed back-up guards.

If you've got money, an import slot open, and know where to look, there are obviously good imports around. But it seems those with the need, don't have a slot, and those with the slot seem to be well settled with local depth.
I'd wondered if Brissy might chase an import to replace Bairstow, but they are still well stacked with tall timber.

Sydney have 3 imports, Whittington, Powel and Jackson.

Interesting that the big market teams are stalling on injury replacements, especially when anyone could still make a strong run towards the post-season.

Breakers have an import spot to burn presumably. Same with Brisbane and Sydney. Perth made their questionable call, though who knows how it might play out - Martin could return and be enough to get them over the line.

Could we see Cedric Jackson reunited with Lemanis in Brisbane?

Poor Koberules. Is this season 2017? Still can't work it out?

Is that why MU are still $6.00 for the 'ship right now, despite losing last weekend and having yet another player go down with a 4-6 week injury?

I remember when MU was 3-7, Perth was about 6-3 or 6-4 or so and I told Dazz on these forums that UTD's position wasn't really that bad in comparison.

Seemed a little bit crazy at the time. Such is life.

Of course it is and MU were never the team to beat.

Zodiac, FYI, so far in this current season my sportsbet account is in a profit of about 10-12% based on bets I've cashed out so far. I couldn't care much less about what you think tbh.

The team to beat can change every week.

Adelaide are the team to beat right now, if they get beaten by Perth tomorrow does that mean they weren't the team to beat the day before?

Ponder on that riddle for a while. When you have the answer get back to me.

Damn, you say some stupid things Zodiac.

Anon you regularly post 4 or 5 times in a row, so I don't see what the issue is.

LV you should just have your own thread. You respond multiple times in the same thread 1 after the other then the other. Maybe say everything you want in 1 post...not 74

If you're looking strictly at "how many injuries took place this season" he doesnt belong.

If you're looking at the more interesting and more relevant question of how many players have an injury that impacted their availability for this current NBL season, then he goes on the list.

Nothing to do with it, even if Iggy was healthy, he would be playing minimal minutes and isn't significantly better than Odigie such that he would've made a difference to United.

Damn, you say some stupid things Zodiac.

This thread is just trying to ascertain how many injuries there are in the NBL compared to other times in NBL history. Iggy was injured and this prevented him from taking part in the NBL this season. Arguably he would be taking part in this current NBL season if he hadn't been injured whilst an active NBL player.

But of course, it wasn't an injury that took place in the current season or pre season. So it's an ambiguous one.

It's not a question of defining anything Iggy was released in the offseason he's not on MU's roster and hasn't been all season yet you're trying to add him to MU's injury list to try and inflate your "see look how many injuries MU have had this season" narrative to excuse their poor season.

And Hadzi is still training with United btw. Just recently on twitter they put up a picture of him.

Maybe he'll be back in the NBL next season.

Again, depends how you define it on Hadziomerovic.

He was travelling along nicely last season, and if he'd never sustained a long term injury then I think there's a fair chance he would've been on the roster this season instead of Owen Odigie, who was himself returning from injury.

What he produced in the first 12 or 14 games of last season was greater than anything I've seen from Odigie in his 4 or 5 years in the system. Hadzi was playing the proyotype hustle player, in a star studded team.

So you could say that injury has prevented him from being in the NBL this season.

What season is this KobeKlueless?

Here the Torrey Craig source.

Don't cry.

Craig has told Bullets officials he should also be right to take on United

Depending on how you define it, another one: Hadziomerovic was injured last season and only returned to training a month or so ago.

Was Wroe another? I feel like Perth had another injury somewhere along the line

Plenty of others have been injured without missing 4 weeks: Trice, Norton, Knight, Kenney, Johnson, Lisch, Loughton, Weigh, Jawai. That's off the top of my head.

Name your top Injury side of the 16-17 season- Matt

Trice was injured during the Illawarra game, 30/10 and returned 18/11. Not 4 weeks.

Add Blanchfield to the list. Played 27/10, got injured at training and returned 4/12.

Add CG43 to the list. Goulding injured during the game 20/10, returned 18/11. But you could say he "missed" 4 weeks because the injury game was the first of two games that weekend. So he missed games in 4 consecutive weekends.

It seems injuries have hit 4 of the bottom 5 sides the hardest.

Could it be that injuries have been the equalising factor of this season?

Khazzouh has nothing to do with this season.

I think Trice missed two weeks, played one, then missed another one or two.

I'm including Khazzouh, so Barlow would count even if it was last season's injury. I just forgot about him.

Add Barlow to the list. He played pre season and then injured his calf, it wasn't a pre existing injury from 18 months ago, that was achilles.

Blanchfield and CG missed 5 games each. Not sure how many weeks.

How long was Trice out for?

Source for that? I saw he was injured, but there was nothing about a prognosis.

Torrey Craig can now be added to that list
