Winning and Injuries key to NRL

The two biggest factors in winning an NRL premiership apart from the referee's whistle and the bounce of the football - are obviously winning your matches and ensuring that injuries don't cut down your top players from the clubs first grade squad.

NRL Results are based more on the team that your club can field on the day, as players struggle to remain fit each week after heavy hits knocks and twists from their routine which involves so much body contact.

The NRL clubs remain focused on having large squads of players to cater for injuries should they occur rather than just relying on a small batch of players for a team - that can quickly change if the body is struck down with niggles regularly.
