Before this season Andy Lynch missed very few games for the Bulls. Tame Tupou has missed more than he's played.

On the subject of injuries, Glenn Morrison picked up and played on with an injury in a match at Leeds last season. It turned out that he'd torn a quad and broken part of his kneecap. His comments: "I just thought I'd got a bad cork. I tried running it off and it was pretty sore but there was no one left on the bench so I stuck it out."

Not always. If anything a RL player should wait longer due to the trauma caused from the incision and the need to make sure it's fused together properly, in view of the added strain the area is expected to tolerate from the collisions.

I'd of said Mick Vella but he's just been injured.

Cayless has been injured a lot over the last year. Wellens has been pretty much ever-present though.

Looked at some of the players on our books currently and John Wells has a pretty good record. 24 games a season over 7 years....not to be sniffed at! 52 tries.....mmmm..

Yeah your right. Silly of me not to realise that being a credit controller or a telesales rep puts about the same strain on the body as 80 mins of playing in the pack in a game of Super League......
