NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS have been rocked by the serious injury to former Wigan Warriors star Kai Pearce-Paul.

Kai has had an operation over there & is recuperating at the moment.

Yes i know josie ide read it already

i've seen some saints fans posting that the wigan club dont put player safety / health first. i forgot that most of their team played busted almost all year - oh the irony

at the end of the day he was a Wigan player, and looked after by the medical staff. Whilst i agree that there is a responsibility to the player, it wasnt Wigans responsibility to make sure he was fit to play for Newcastle, especially if KPP was happy with the treatment he received and wasnt denied an op (if that was advised as the best course of treatment)

All this garbage and it's just his toe that he's injured....he has another nine doesn't he? (Unless he's from St Helens where he would have 11)

I know, I was going to say they keep say a serious “foot injury" & he told me it was his toe. And that he wasn’t continually having pain killing injections as it made his foot swell after playing so he was taking inflammatory tablets instead.

Kris Rads didn’t make as much of a fuss as the Knights have done in 2002!

I thought they had webs?

KPP left when his contract expired . It's between KPP and Newcastle to sort out the problem . Nowt to do with Wigan

I don't know why but this made me chuckle

[Beryl O'Neill]

Me too webbed and Eleven shouldn't laugh at the afflicted

Correct. KPP won’t have been the only RL player who ended the season carrying an injury. No idea what Newcastle expected Wigan to do, the arrogant tossers.

I suspect if they were in a GF and one of their players was in a similar situation they would give him pain killing injections without a second thought.
