Sounds interesting, wonder how much it would cost to implement as a club. If it is worthwhile as it seems to suggest (lessening injuries by 40%) it could give us an edge over opponents.

Or we could start by not signing players with fucked up knees.

Save money on new technologies and spunking money on transfers and wages.

Don’t think we need fancy AI algorithms to tell us that the more cripples we sign, the more injuries we’re likely to have

Sure I saw an article the Huns were using it this year?

Names them in the article. Seems very impressive results if it's to be taken at face value

You didn’t need any intelligence to know that Mikey Devlin was going to be an injured waste of space & a drain on wages.

It’s something Cormack needs to get to the bottom of.

We do seem to get a shed load more injuries than most other clubs from what I can tell, on a consistent basis.

It could be something really simple like our players aren't being pushed as hard in training as other teams so when they are forced to up the levels on match day to keep up with the other side they end up injuring themselves. Also half arsed tackling is more likely to cause an injury than fully committing yourself and our team are experts at half arsed tackles.

AI is only as good as the human that programmes it. Knowing our luck we would buy the version programmed by Jimmy Calderwood...probably cheaper though...
