In just over 12 months Libba, C. Smith, R. Smith, Bob and Prudden (now confirmed by Bevo) have all done ACLs. Is this a simple bad run or symptomatic of a bigger problem?
Since I asked this question in 2016, we can add a 2nd ACL to Libba, 2nd to Roarke, 2nd to Redders, 1st ACL to Jong & Morris in 4 years (10 in total). I ask the wiser posters again with updated higher numbers, is 10 ACLs (& ACL tear to Morris last year) just actual bad luck, or is the high number something that the club needs to see if there's aggravating factors?
Some of the answers from 2016 in this thread make for a few interesting things to think about, if we are able to reduce the occurrence and reoccurrence rates which seem to be higher than average.
