Percival - Injury confirmation : Mon Feb 15, 2016 7:20 pm  

I see Percival has been confirmed by Cunningham to have done his medial ligament and that he will be out for 'several months'.

Do those who mocked me for suggesting we might miss out on the top 4 want to rethink now? All we need is a long term injury to Walmsley or Roby and the 8 becomes a serious issue.

Out for 6 months

When's McDonnell back?

This is a proper blow but maybe it'll be an opportunity for a young centre from the reserves to step up and make a name for themselves. Our season isn't a write off just because of injuries. 2014 proved that.

Here comes the crippling injury list again.

Obviously not good news, but I had a feeling it was going to be his ACL, so I'm actually a little relieved.

At least it's not just us bud. Cas have lost Shenton for the season and Leeds are really struggling. I think the team with the stronger squad rather than strongest 17 will prevail this season.

Sat back people this is gonna be a long season. Our only strike player is gone!

Year of the Wolf anyone? I know I've said every year since 2008, but if they don't win it this year, they never will.

If Tomkins returns from injury without a loss to his ability, it'll be Wigan's to lose. If Tomkins comes back and isn't the same player, it's as open as it's ever been.
