Former NRL player Andrew Johns says current players need to do a better job identifying and targeting injured opponents during matches. He points to examples from recent play where teams face rivals who are reportedly carrying injuries.
Johns specifically references Brisbane youngster Braydon Trindall and Penrith halfback Nathan Cleary, both of whom outlets say are playing while wounded. Across the three reports, the central claim is that Johns believes teams can gain an advantage by adjusting tactics to exploit opponents who are not fully fit.
While the outlets largely agree on what Johns is advocating and the players he cites, they differ only in wording and presentation. None of the summaries provide details on what tactical changes Johns recommends beyond the overall message about targeting injured players.
