Could be a broken bone in his ankle which is better than a torn achilles and would mean he could play in the World Club Challenge.

Remind me how Wigan and Liverpool works then?

You can walk slowly, no need to be stretched off as once it snapped you can't really do anymore damage. I walked round the pitch for 5 min in agony and mine was complete tear.

Looked like an achiles injury to me the way he walked off.

really need to get a deputy sorted madge!

Cruel blow for Pat hope he bounces back. It's great we won though that would have been hard to take losing a grand final and picking up that injury at the same time.

Hopefully once they get a proper look at it today it'll just be some damage rather than a tear. At least this is best time to get a long term injury (if there ever is a good time!)

He's already targetting being back for the start of the year, can't see him making the WCC though.

Thats a wing spot up for grabs to begin next season then!

What did he do to deserve it?

I can't remember seeing him cheat beforehand.

Hope he recovers quickly.Great player.
