Very sad to end his career this way.

Wonder if they will seek dispensation from the RFL.

Be amazed if they didn’t.

Feel for Brown. I suffered the same injury and it’s horrendous.
He sat next to us at a Cas game when he was suspended and was great.
On a practical level I hope Dec Patton gets a chance, he’s getting past the point of being an up and coming kid and needs regular game time.
I don’t think bringing Wippop over this season would be an option as you already have 7 non-fed trained players for 2018.
Best wishes to Brown on his recovery.

Poor lad ... feel really sorry.
If Patton & Austin are fit we are OK but we need cover for injury.
Morgan Smith would have given us that cover but we now need to look elsewhere.

We're good for cover.
Mamo takes a place on the bench with 3 forwards. He covers all outside back options...if we lose a half...he goes fb and Ratchford goes moves up.

Riley Dean had a good game against Rochdale. At 17 he may be too young to fill Browns boots. Good prospect for the future.

What if you don’t pick up an injury mid-match, do you just not use him? Given the reduction of interchanges that night not be wise. Also what about the young hooker you got from Widnes as an interchange hooker?

Feel for the lad...wish him a speedy recovery..

Yes that's OK too ... but that is not enough cover for a season. More required. Someone who can kick a ball out of hand.

I'd guess that's his career ended, I think he said he was retiring at the end of the season. Such a shame, one of my favourite players and one of the only ones I think Wigan made a mistake in letting go.

1. We (Salford) aren’t signing Brierley.
2. Even if we did, he wouldn’t get in front of Lui.
3. For Lui to sign for Wire you’d have to release someone as you’re overseas quota is full.

Gutted that the rumours I received last night were true, I think it’s unfair for players that have had lengthy careers when they don’t get to bow out on their own terms. Played his part in SL over then years Kev.

If the club go and seek Salary cap dispensation as Cas have done, who would you sign??

Does it need a dispensation or can we use the same rule as when Hicks left? Wasn’t he paid off in full in the off season so it didn’t count?
