Shame for Widdop, classy player. 3 shoulder Ops in as many years is tough for any athlete.
Hope Wanky don't have a get-out clause on his contract (although they seem to have special Salary Cap dispensation anyway)
Most complex joint in the body, lots of nerves in the sheath around the shoulder as well as the usual ligaments and muscles, not a lot of orthapeadic surgeons will operate on shoulders, almost all will do hip replacements and acl reconstructions, that tells you all you need to know.
I agree completely, and luck plays a huge part.
Any player has an obligation to his own well-being and that of his family. I remember talking to Wello about his hip and he said he could hardly walk on a Monday after games, and the thought of not being able to kick a ball around with his kids prompted him to call it a day.
Can't stop the spirits when they need you.
This life is more than just a read through.
Once you do your shoulder in, it's only a matter of time before retirement heads into view.
Hi Wolfie. I was reading on the Wolves forum last night that RedVee posters have found the Widdop injury a source of fun! Could you please rectify that total disregard of the facts! Only one poster has said something about him that poked fun at his signing not his injury. The posts are generally sympathetic to his setback and wish him well.
The voice of reason, thank goodness.
