Wigan Warriors suffer major Luke Thompson blow with injury detail revealed

Big loss.

With Cooper gone and even bigger one.

Cooper should have been replaced with another experienced veteran, but yet again they did not bother

Have to agree, and I'm surprised as Peet seems (like Noble before him) to put a very high value on props.

Experience is so hard to "buy off the shelf". Yes we can look to Ellis and to a degree Farrell (albeit slightly further away) but with Thompson out that is the weakest part of the "middles" as they like to call them thesedays.

Another reason why Isa was very underrated imo.

I did fancy our chances a bit knowing that HKR had to play the cup game whilst we had a week off but now we're without Thompson they must be favourites. A real shame that he got injured in a game when he really didn't need to play but Matty does sometimes seem reluctant to rest first teamers. This situation is a reminder that we will be thin on the ground for props next season if we don't make a couple of decent signings to replace Byrne and Hill. On a positive note, a win tonight would be a great boost for the rest of the season so let's hope for the best.
