To win a premiership you have to have way more than a great team, you need some help from lady luck. Our lack of injuries was absolutely amazing last year - possibly record-breaking.
It certainly was a major factor in our success.

Agreed. I kept saying to myself all year " when are all the injuries going to hit" , like they hit so many other teams. Fortunately we had one of our healthiest years ever. Was a definite factor.

on the injury front, it was more so our spine not getting injured and developing combos
forwards and centres whatever, but the 1,6,7,9 staying fit was amazing

Don't really see the point. They didn't even care about it when they were playing for the trophy.

Yeah. Plus what benefit is playing in the cold when our season starts in the heat.
