Quote: ShortArse "This may be a bit controversial, but I think we are only starting to truly appreciate him properly now that he is injured.
Whilst its sad to see him injured, I think that this break helps us see what we are going to miss next year, so that the send off he gets (hopefully at OT) will truly reflect our appreciation.
There have been players who have played for us in the past, who have left with reputation slightly in excess of what they achieved on the field. Tommy has certainly never been one to have been overestimated, but now I think we are starting to appreciate more what he adds to the team.'"
Yes I agree with that too. I have gone from feeling that Wigan couldn't be beat to not being anywhere near as confident now that he isn't playing.
