Nice post fergus, I agree with your rationale. I would only add that the flexibility issue is important, it may not link directly to the incidence of hamstring injury but many athletes suffer from lack of mobility through the hip/lower back especially lumbar spine and SIJ. Increased strength through these areas is crucial however, if mobilty is lacking the effectiveness of the exercises being used can be significantly reduced.
