Mixed news lets hope its not a ligament tear

From the clubs twitter account



@WTWildcatsRL: Richard Agar has confirmed there is no break on Tim Smith's leg but he is getting checked & scanned today for any potential ligament damage.





relief that its not a break.... fingers crossed that its just bruising.

Good news its not a break

Are ligament tears as bad time-wise?

It depends on the tear, but if not healed properly and ripped again can cause serious damage.

Fingers crossed

No medical expert...but sometimes a break is better than ligament damage..as peverse as it sounds...just hope its bruising

Done both,nice clean break and ligaments.



Ligaments took around 14 weeks,break around 10.



Suppose it depends on how bad the ligament tear is,but the specialists opinion was that he preffered a nice clean break to ligament damage.

A ligament tear would be a disaster 12 days off the new season. Think at this stage a 3/4 week absence would be welcomed by many.



Although in relation to the Mathers thread, maybe it can be seen as an opportunity to try Mathers at 7??? May just work

Fingers crossed it's just a dead leg.

Depends where we are talking on his leg.



If we are mixing up ligament or break I'm assuming it is not knee but ankle. Easier to stabilise at ankle than knee but still bad.

think web site said lower leg (tibia) initially so not knee area lets hope its not a ligament as would be a long term injury not a few weeks
