I know just one thing about our injury management, anything else I may say is speculation.
This is what I know. Pre-Lyon all our major injuries were assessed here and operated on here in WA. Just like the eGulls did and still do. When Ross Lyon took control, he sent all injured players over to Melbourne for assessment and treatment. Every one. Think of post-operative care and flying home at altitude. Does that worry you? It worries me.
Victoria also has more of those nasty staph infections in their hospitals. We have less only because of our isolation.
