Andrew Johns calls for targeting injured players during finals

Rugby League immortal Andrew Johns has urged players to exploit injuries of opponents in finals. He referenced Braydon Trindall of Cronulla, who is returning from a shoulder injury, and Nathan Cleary of Penrith, who is dealing with a foot injury. Both players are expected to play through their pain as their teams head into semi-finals. Johns suggested coaches instruct players to take advantage of these injuries tactically. The tactics could impact both players significantly as they lead their respective teams through the finals series.
