Meanwhile, in football... Australia thrashed New Zealand in the Rugby League test match; unfortunately the test match thrashed the Broncos. The coaches are having to speak up now trying to defend their players from being ground into almost-inevitable injuries. These guys are human, despite appearances. You push them long and hard enough and they break. Or at least, their knees and ankles do. The Broncos have lost two key players for 4-6 weeks, one player for the season and five others are injured to various degrees; possibly dropping the Broncos out of premiership contention. I can't help wondering if the schedule would be different if a Sydney team was filling all the representative teams; rather than the Broncos. But that's just parochial fandom speaking... right? Sure.
