In an era when the game is going more and more like football with players milking penalties, two incidents from today stuck out to me:

1. Manfredi has the ball ripped out 2 on 1, he catches it in mid air, takes the tackle, plays the ball, no complaint.

2. Cas player steps across to escort Manfredi on a kick. Does he hit the ground or draw attention to it? No, he goes around him and makes the tackle.

In both situations he could have easily got a penalty, but he got on with playing rugby instead. I hope the next generation play more like Manfredi and less like S.Tomkins

I just hope for the lads sake that his injury isn’t serious. I fear for him though if his knee has gone again.

There weren't many complaints coming out of Wigan when he wore the Cherry and White!

Same here what is it about Cas’s ground and him picking up a knee injury

I'm no fan of Wigan , but boy has that lad had some dreadful luck , let's hope this injury is not too serious , RL needs quality like Manfredi around for sure .

I'm afraid it's not going to be good news.

Sad to say this but think his career as a rugby player is looking grim he has a lot of bad luck .

I deliberately picked an ex Wigan player to compare him to so people wouldn't come on with that sort of comment.

It’s very sad. It appears the two most naturally talented winger in SL Him and Johnstone are prone to serious injuries.

Didn't quite work then. It depends which side of the fence you're on as to whether it's playing within the rules to gain advantage, or a cheating wind up merchant.

I'm agree with you that the game should be played in the right way, and officials should pick up on it,

Not ACL again is it Rogues ?

That's the rumour, and it's the other knee.

Some players don't have any luck. Just shows how tough a sport this is, and I hope this does not end his career.

hes done that knee once before also, that'll be 2 acl's in both knees

My god he must be absolutely distraught.

This is a disaster if true. We and him have been robbed of one of the best wingers in recent times. For the good of his health, he needs to call it quits now if its an ACL. I hope the club can find a role for him in a non playing capacity. Time for Tom Davies to find some of last seasons form again now. We have seen and read a lot this week about the club having a duty of care to idiot players etc but this is where the club REALLY has a duty of care to look after hard working pro's who have seemingly had their career snatched away. Gutted for him and us. An absolute pleasure to watch. Came back and won us the Grand Final. I don't see any way back for him now.

I think the club will give him a month or so to decide what he wants to do and will back him in whatever decision he makes. He'd have to be very very strong mentally to go through it all again, for the fourth time.

I suspect he will make his decision based on medical advice. I do hope that he can be encouraged to go through the process again, even though there will be long dark days ahead. He is still young and hopefully he can recover and pull on that famous cherry and white shirt again next season. I am sure the club will do its utmost to support him to do so.

I’m sure he will give it a go unless the doctors highly advise against it. Whilst recovering he will still get paid what I guess is a decent wage by Wigan if he retires it’s the unknown although I would like to think the club will help him out.

No idea how he must be feeling, it's horrendous news for him.

Horrible news.

If I were him I'd use this time whilst I was still being paid by Wigan to prepare to go into another line of work. If it's true that it's his fourth time one of his knee's has gone it just can't be good sense to continue. Important that the club stand by him and support him in whatever he does.

It's two on the right knee and two on the left I believe.

How unfortunate for the guy, really dissapointed. As an oppossition supporter, I have to be honest I genuinly think this lad is the best winger in super league for years, and such a shame he can not get a long run at it.

Very, very sad indeed. Had the ability to be the best winger in the league but clearly his knees aren't up to it. The poor lad must be devastated.
