Confirmed pre-match last night on Sky Sports (they said it was four vertebrae), do you accept it now, or do you not believe them either?

Who confirmed it? Wigan or Sky Sports?

Same thing?

Absolutely nothing anywhere on the interwebs reporting this.

So no - i still don't believe it.

Not that it makes it any better (either the injury, or the resulting hyperbole speculation.)

Perhaps you need Uncle Gawy to send you an e-mail!!

If it's 4 broken vertebrae then it's a major injury. I would be surprised to see him play again this season. Doesn't seem to be much detailed information on view.
This is obviously leading to speculation by various posters. I sincerely hope that Wigan aren't indulging in a bit of dark art propaganda.

Reported by Gemma Brooks on sky sports before kick off.

Details please.

As I posted on page 3 (except I was told it was three) and my source is very close to the club and can be trusted.

If player and club have chosen not to release medical details, is it appropriate that a third party should?

I think you need to take a second look my friend. Even Ferries himself admits as much (although he tries to pass the buck on to Gildart which the disciplinary panel rightly rubbished!) The attempt to hurt was quite clear and intentional. I won't go so far as to say the intention was to injure however he must have realised that he was, at best, running the risk. Given the outcome, I can't really imagine a worse example of a crusher. He should have received the maximum ban for this offence.

I don't understand why anyone would try to defend Ferres at all.

Me either.

Keinhorst up before the beak tomorrow - presumably for the alleged chicken wing on Gidley I think.
Grade A & he has EGP available.
Maybe somebody could dig up Westwood's previous disciplinary record?

It was Clark and there was less than nothing in it.

Has Westerman been cited and or Sims?

No
