The Acromion Process, basically.

Not a very nice injury at all.

What was ironic was Wigan fans, and Pat Richards saying that Gardner took him out after he had put a kick through, towards the end of the game. I wonder what their view on Hoffman's challenge on Wheeler was?

Good Stuff , play as long as you can because you'll be a long time retired ! I think my bodys given up on me though lol

Your just a wimp mate



I'm playing everyweek with a dislocated thumb which needs a pin put in, my shoulder is also fooked and my knee like a balloon every Sunday morning.

you sound like Gary Wheeler !

I do don't I, but I get on the pitch every week lol

That may be so, but it doesn't change the fact that had there been another ref in charge, the hit on Wheeler by Hoffman might have been judged as late and a penalty would have been forthcoming. I think it was late, if Wheeler had time to look up before Hoffman hit him (and that is what Wheeler has said).

The game is different now because it is professional, players (correctly) have rights and clubs/the RFL have a duty of care to those players. We can still have our biff and our big hits but they should be played out within the context of minimising what is already a very risky sport for the individuals playing it.
