To be fair, you probably didn't receive the kind of medical care and rehab Tommy will. I think people want him back so he can go out with a bang, not because they feel the team will fall apart without him. He's always put it in when he's played and everyone loves him for it.

Spot on, my body is a wreck (though I've still got the looks & charisma) due to a complete lack of suitable medical care. Warming up used to involve throwing up in the bogs followed by touching your toes a couple of times, warming down - a gallon & a curry.
It would be terrible if he left the country without a proper send off after what he has given the game. he will be back as NZ hooker for a number of years to haunt us I have no doubt.

Get well soon, would be very sad if that was then end of him in a Wigan shirt.

One of my favourite ever Wigan players (vomit), love the way he approaches the game.

You're going soft. Wait until I get back on that Saints board.

It's going to take 6 weeks for the break to heal maybe longer if it doesn't stitch right then you got to get ligaments right 8 weeks will not happen your looking 10-12 but all depends how his body reacts different times for different people

Tommys a tough little bugger. He may not be 100% come the cup final(if we get there) but if he has any chance of playing he will and then try and rest for another spell before entering the play offs (probably late missing the couple of weeks).

That's my guess how it'll play out. Wigan played Ben Cross way ahead of schedule with a leg break (iirc) and it wasn't like he was anything but an extra body to put on the bench.

Think it was his arm

Aye it was thinking on.

Arms or legs though they're both reasonably important in rugby and if Tommy can possibly get his body out on the field come the cup final or play offs he'll play with a bit of pain IMO.

Above all the chat about how we'll get on and who could replace him the most important thing is Leuluai himself having the opportunity to finish at Wigan on his terms.

A true legend.

Yeah and what happened with Cross it got worse

I'm sorry but if it's a chance of having Tommy for the cup final or the playoffs i'd choose the latter if a player is not right they wont get played and rightly so

They'll definitely need to manage it right.

If it's not fully healed come Wembley (again if we get there) then he can't play but my point is if he's healed but has to play with some discomfort(stiffness or due to a lack of miles) then he'll want to do it and I think we'll let him.

If it's literally still broke then he's obviously no chance.

He deserves some luck.

you can always sign his brother from widnes on loan mc graff .....
