Tommy is out for the rest of the season according to his brother MacGraff on Twitter.

That's an awful way to bow out. He's been fantastic for Wigan over the last 5 years.

looked a bad one at the time , so not especially a surprise. shame hes gone out that way as hes has been instrumental in whats happened at the warriors over the last few yrs. superb player. will he be fit to start next season down under??

I imagine so. It's about 8 months until the start of next season if I'm not mistaken and I think a broken ankle should be healed within that time. Ligament damage is usually what keeps players out for longer.

ah,. didnt know it was broken. then have to wonder how bad a break , i assume we have seen the best of him. pity.

will the rabbitohs have a change of heart??

Nope, Tommy loves Wigan so much that he couldn't bear to be anything other than a Warrior Big Grin

He was linked with a move to the Rabbitohs but he's definitely heading back to New Zealand. Finch might be joining Maguire though as nothing has been confirmed with him other than the fact he's leaving Wigan.

maybe mixing them up. well, the question still stands, will the warriors be having second thoughts ??

It's a bummer of a way to end his SL career... always had a lot of time for him as a player.

However... he was coming in with his knees on Ryan Hall and did it to himself.... are we going to get Phil Clarke's lecture on the "rugby Gods" again or does that only apply AGAINST Wigan?

I don't think so. I'm no expert but I don't think ankle breaks have a massive effect on future performance. In fact I don't think broken bones usually provide too much to worry about after they've healed.

The worst injuries to suffer in the long term seem to be knee ligament and Achilles injuries.

I don't know why you're moaning about Phil Clarke here. Even Wiganers know he talks absolute crap. He's an ex-Wiganer but it's not like he speaks on behalf of Wigan fans.
