Nightmare!!

Williams is one of our most important forwards. That's a huge blow to Tigers season and makes the recruitment of a new physical No.8/6 even more important.

Where was this confirmed by the way?

Seems to be coming from FB and Twitter

IMO it is a devastating blow, I think we will miss his physicality and carrying.

Tigers' Mike Williams has broken his arm again. In warm-up v Worcs with Matt Toomua - "MT's first involvement at the club" says Cockers....

facing 8-12 weeks out



I think I speak for many on here...

I'm speechless

Oh for crying out loud. Bad news for pretty much everyone, but most of all him.

How long until the club are blamed again...?

Terrible news for Mike and Tigers, crosses my mind that given the fact that this is the second re-brake and in such a benign manner that Tigers should seek a second medical opinion in order to finally end this horrendous injury cycle. Furthermore, a weapon grade fore arm protector should be procured as he desperately needs it.

I guess that will depend on whether it's a 'new break' or the old one failing because of a medical reason that could / should have been foreseen.

What an absolute tragedy for MW. He will be sorely missed by us. Wishing him a full and speedy recovery

I really hope not but I do wonder if his playing career is at risk if this is the third time he has broken the same arm?? :smt010

I suspect as soon as the trolls wake up, it will be all "sack the coaches"

Being reported it is the same arm/place but the club and player did everything right and he was just "unlucky". 6-8 weeks out. Gutted for all concerned.

Well both Fonua and Williams both rebroke their respective arms last season that was double unlucky. I am more worried that it may never have fully healed (again).
