apparently its ankle ligaments with a scan to follow tomorrow. Hopefully its something like 6 weeks and fortunately, bar the semi final, we have quite a favourable run of games over the next few weeks with Widnes, Bradford, Wakey.

Phil wilkinson reporting that theres no break but ligaments injury, Which can still be pretty bad. Hopefully it wont put him out for the season. He doesn't deserve to leave Wigan in that sort of manner

the exiles aren't international though at best they are RL's version of the Barbarians an invitational team!! They had 1 current Aussie or Kiwi international playing in Leuluai. Take him out who was the last one to get a cap for Aus or NZ? Joel Monoghan? Some of them haven't even played for Aus or NZ Hodgson certainly hasn't but is the captain. Exiles concept needs changing or dropped!! We're not playing the same calibre of player we will vs Aus or NZ

oh forgot about Lance Hoihia or whatever it is think he gt caps after Joel but isnt a current international

syndesmosis injury according to Anderson.

We will miss Wee Tam in defence . All the best wee man .

If they were current internationals they wouldn't be playing in the SL. They're still a damn sight better than France, Wales, Scotland or Ireland.

It IS like the Barbarians game. It's as tough a test as we can muster without actually playing the Aussies/Kiwis - which would be incredibly difficult to arrange mid-season.

we don`t need to panic ,wane will juggle his magic and come up with something.always dread this happening in a nothing match.

I just googled that :

Generally, no weight on the ankle is permitted for 4 weeks following repair of the syndesmosis, and rehabilitation with physical therapy and exercise begins at that time. It is important to avoid any twisting of the ankle for 6-8 weeks to avoid further loosening of the syndesmosis ligament tear, as well as allow sufficient time for the deltoid ligament to heal. Return to athletic activity takes anything from 8 to 12 weeks following surgical repair.

Bar Hansen, you do know how old those players are? And that Tommy plus Lima and Finch are going back to Oz?

The concept is dying on its feet due to a talent drain due to age and players leaving that it isn't going to recover from.

The fact our team was due to supply 9 players to this game was a joke and one reason it was is because there aren't enough other "Exiles" good enough to field a team in this country.

The fact we have seemingly had to play a potentially season ruining price for this pointless game has me fuming.

We can take leeds in the semi without Tommy, but lets hope he can play from mid August onwards

8 weeks would see him back around Challenge Cup Final time.
12 weeks would see him back for the play-offs (if at all).
