Can't just release him from his contract, unless he wants releasing which he would be stupid to do.
Wigan will have insurance for career ending injuries etc to cover cost of his remaining contract
Hiwever
His salary cap value will count on Wigans books anyway this season.

Wigan will be doing everything they can to assist him in his rehabilitation, they always do.
Wigans education system behind the scenes is fantastic and he will have been given many opportunities to educate in other areas (believe he may be into HGV driving?).

best in the business

Absolutely devastating for him. I know he will get the very best in terms of support from the club but he must be in a very dark place at this time. Has anyone ever been through such injuries and gone on to rebuild a career?

Lomax?

not in the same league for me, 4 x ACL's thats crazy

One helluva tough break - hope he gets the best treatment/help going forward.

So sad for the lad, I can't even begin to imagine how he is feeling. Such a nice kid as well.

Ben Currie

Agreed he’s had it tough too.

I think Lomax and Currie "have only" done two. Still terrible.
I remember speaking to Jonny Lomaxs dad a while ago and asking why we're seeing so many of these injuries now. His theory was that the players are bulked up muscle wise but there's nothing that can be done to strengthen the ligaments. He likened it to an elastic band that just stretches and then snaps.

There’s something about Manfredi and Tom Johnstone’s style that I can’t really explain but that is similar and I guess puts huge pressure on their knees. They’re both really strong up top and both seem to have that ability to keep their legs driving when players are hanging off them. I guess that puts a lot of stress on your knees and both can’t stay clear of these problems.

Similar build too NK.

Gutted for Dom. He’s a top drawer winger and should be pushing for a marquee spot to fend off NRL interest had it not been for his devastating injuries.

I do wonder whether Dom will ever make it back to a rugby field again or if he’s better refocusing his career into a backroom role to avert serious mobility issues later in life.

I doubt he will want to take a back room role, they’d be paying peanuts.

How do you know that?
