| Morrison has not had reoccurring injuries they have been seperate so in a way hes just been unlucky, its not as though hes struggling with a repetative injury. He will bring a whealth of experience and professionalism to the club and in my opinion he could prove to be a very astute signing.

| I've never seen him be anything less than influential in a game. Bradford haven;t always won but he always looked like the man to do it and he gives 100%
His injuries are simply impact injuries so no reason to think it is a problem. His career so far has been fairly injury free.
Good signing for me...especially with Drew and possibly Martin leaving.

I don't really understand this one. It really doesn't matter what sort of injuries he's had the fact that in the last 3 seasons he has missed roughly 1 in every 3 games has to be a worry.

They are not reccuring ones though. I can see what you're saying, he seems to be more susceptible to impact injuries, but clearly the club feel it is more about bad luck than him being made of balsa wood.

The injuries are not reccuring but the fact that he gets injured is reccuring. The fcat that he has had a relative injury free career is the irrelevant bit for me it's the last 2 seasons which don't make good reading. Maybe with Petersen going I just need a quick scapegoat replacement!

But it may just be plain bad luck, many players get spells like that during a career and go on to have much longer periods injury free. Equally you can sign a player, often younger, who comes with a relatively injury free record, who is then in and out with knocks - Petersen as you've mentioned him, but plenty of others fit that category to some degree.
If it was a Hendo type player I'd agree, but as he is clearly quality it tips the scale of the risk a little and so makes it a little more worthwhile. Maybe trust the club, I'd expect they would have more detailed medical info on these kind of things - although if it is anything like contracts, it would be in the public domain by now.

Hopefully so, as always I guess it depends upon how much he's getting would hope we weren't paying top money for him.

I understand what you're saying, it would be a greater worry if Glenn Morrison were suffering from of a chronic injury that continually sidelined him.
He has suffered a number of niggling injuries which are not connected in any way with each other except they may be occurring because his 33-year-old physique is struggling to cope with modern day Rugby.
I hope that's not the case and that he's only had a run of bad luck which hopefully will come to an end when it comes to Wakefield Trinity. Sometimes a different training regime, a different warmup routine or the different techniques employed by the club's physiotherapist are all that is needed to break the cycle of injuries.
So welcome Glenn!
