On another forum it was reported that he was taken to hospital. I don't know how true that is.

It's been confirmed this morning that he has dislocated his shoulder. That's him absent for a few weeks I would think.

Did you see Wilkin get injured last night? How would Apollo have helped him avoid that injury?

To be fair, Wilkin got his injury when trying to score off a Walsh kick. I don't think a dislocation in that circumstance is something a fitness coach or physio or anyone can avoid short of not bothering to try and score. It's just unfortunate.

I think fans look at their injuries and think they worse than any other team but injuries are far more common these days at all clubs, I don't think we are are any worse than other teams. Wigan have been doing it very tough.

If the was a spate of pulled muscles or muscle injuries then I'd think the could be a problem but if you look at Manu with broken thumb, laffranchi with arm injury, Wilkin dislocated shoulder, Percy with dead leg, Turner suspected broken foot, Mose came after a ankle op, Amor knee (the way hell fell caused it), they are all injuries that are part and parcel of rugby league.

The fact players are so big, lean and athletic makes impacts massive and injuries will always happen.

I,m wondering if it was disclocated when he was making his run off Walsh and didn;t pass to Wello, he did manage to get the ball out of the tackle but came out of the play with the shoulder injury.

He injured it trying to get on the end of a Walsh grub we kick in the in goal area.
