Not only a great player but one of our leaders. Seeing him on the pitch increase confidence of other players.

150m and 35 odd tackles are going to be missed a lot. Plus his line break ability and support play.

Don’t know if we can win it without him

The weak spot in the centres being covered by second rowers hurts us in trying to cover his loss. I’d rather put KPP there in that left second row but Isa at centre fills me with dread.

I’ll be honest, it isn’t ideal shuffling players around but I think we’d be strongest by putting Smithies at left second row and playing an extra prop like Ellis or Havard at 13 but I doubt we’ll go down that route.

Good call, but I'm hoping some time out of the side has lit a fire under Bibby. He's the logical option with KPP covering the other side and Isa in for Faz.

I would love to see Ellis at 13 tho. It solves the conundrum of which prop which misses out.

Bad news for the lad, been having a good season and put in some good performances against us. Hopefully its a couple of weeks rather than a couple of months.

Yes that's the big problem this causes (in addition to the obvious blow of losing Farrell himself). KPP at left second row would be a great replacement but that would leave us a centre short (assuming Bibby comes back in). Our attack broke down on three seperate occasions on Friday when we went wide to Isa on the left - he either didn't have the skill to take the ball in under pressure or ran the wrong line.

You could move Isa to second row or risk bringing Halsall in but neither will happen. I just hope if Isa moves to centre then he'll play on the right where he's played most of his time there - no idea why Peet switched KPP to the right and moved Isa to the left on Friday.

Isa vs Hurrell

If it is as bad as they think, then it will be several months. The initial thought is that it's his ACL.

I hope not,integral part of the Wigan team is Faz.

Damn, damn, damn.

Big loss if true.

Not ideal but part of the game, we move on.

F**k
