Shorrocks out ‘long-term’ as injury crisis deepens
Wigan’s injury crisis has deepened with Jake Shorrocks facing a lengthy lay-off.
On the same day it was revealed Oliver Gildart faces up to three months on the sidelines, it emerged Shorrocks has a “long-term” injury.
There’s no pattern to the injuries, we’ve just been unlucky
The halfback/hooker was nearing a return from a knee injury suffered in the win at Widnes in February. But he has suffered a fresh problem during training, and was yesterday sent to see a specialist to determine the extend of the damage.
“It’s a problem with his knee, it’s long-term,” said Wane. “It was in training, no one was near him. He went to pass the ball, put his foot on the ground, and started limping.”
Shorrocks broke into the side last season and went on to make 12 appearances, only just missing out on the Grand Final when Sean O’Loughlin returned from injury.
His setback was confirmed by Wane at his press conference yesterday, when he revealed Gildart is likely to be sidelined for two to three months with a “serious back injury”.
With Liam Forsyth already in the side deputing for Anthony Gelling, the next centre in line would be academy-product Jack Higginson - but he has been sidelined by a hip problem.
Leeds forward Brett Ferres faces the RFL disciplinary tonight and could be banned for between four to eight games for a Grade E charge of making dangerous contact with Gildart.
Sky Sports summariser Phil Clarke, whose own career was ended by a broken neck injury suffered during a game, described the crusher tackle as “one of the worst” he had seen.
Wane has a string of fronline players missing but is refusing to use their long casualty list as a pre-emptive excuse ahead of the visit of early-season pace-setters Castleford this Thursday night.
“It’s far worse than last year but to be honest, it’s happening, we have to deal with it, and I’m determined to get the win on Thursday,” he said.
“There’s no pattern to the injuries, we’ve just been unlucky, and we’ll be getting some back in the next couple weeks.
“I am not stressed one bit, I’m more annoyed we’ve not got a win from our last two games. “But the positive is we played poorly with the team we’ve got, and still pushed Leeds and Hull - two of the form teams - closely, so we’re in good shape, we’re doing okay.”

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

What are they doing in training which seems to leave us with a permanent double figure injury list?
It's all well and good saying things will improve 'when we have all our players fit' if its never going to happen!

Re: Shorrocks out ‘long-term’ as injury crisis deepens
about time we brought one or two in on loan, maybe a couple of up and coming players from Oz?, Gideon Gela-Mosby, Bessie Aufaga-Toomaga, Veiru Mapesone, to name but a few

Re: Shorrocks out ‘long-term’ as injury crisis deepens
why not, even if it was just for 6 week or so, gives the players a bit more time so they are not rushed back into the side only to see a recurrence of the injury they've just had, it ain't rocket science is itshaunedwardsfanclub wrote:Why?Wormburner wrote:about time we brought one or two in on loan, maybe a couple of up and coming players from Oz?, Gideon Gela-Mosby, Bessie Aufaga-Toomaga, Veiru Mapesone, to name but a few

Re: Shorrocks out ‘long-term’ as injury crisis deepens
we have money left on the cap, there is also the brown envelope method, we can also de-register a player IIRC like we did once before when somebody was long term injuredshaunedwardsfanclub wrote:Ok, how do we get them under the cap?Wormburner wrote:why not, even if it was just for 6 week or so, gives the players a bit more time so they are not rushed back into the side only to see a recurrence of the injury they've just had, it ain't rocket science is itshaunedwardsfanclub wrote: Why?![]()
