Jarrad Waite left the club when the club was quite different to what it is now and even then, he is hardly going to come out and say North has worse at injury management is he? That is a line that has been repeated by players going to new clubs over the years. I think Josh Kennedy said the same thing at Sydney.
Waite of course has only played 50% of games the last 2 seasons as well.
But saying that because a club was bad x number of years ago so it is fair to say they are probably bad now is baseless. As an ridiculous extreme example isn't that like saying x % of Germans were seriously NAZI supporters during the early 30s and 40s so therefore it is reasonable that a lot are still now. I mean Kreuzer in his early years ;D ;D ;D You have to be kidding if you are using that as an indicator
The only real indication of how the club manages injuries is looking at the players and I don't see players constantly breaking down with Soft tissue injuries or chronic injuries that are not repairing.
Waite didn't have to say anything at all. And Kreuzer is still a current player - if the theory about dubious injury management is true, it's quite conceivable that such poor injury management may manifest itself at a later date, under a new regime. I don't believe such things are as far fetched as you make them out to be.
