Wighton to miss the season after trampoline mishap

31 May 2012 | johnboy

Those Canberra Raiders sure can find some whacky ways to end their seasons.

Sky News reports on the latest in which wing Jack Wighton has hurt his toe larking about on a backyard tramp and will now miss the rest of the season.

That’s quite the toe injury.

Short of losing a few, what the hell can one do to their toe to miss half a season?!

“Turf toe”. Look it up. Very serious injury, particularly for a professional footballer.

Break your big toe and try running, you will see. Having said that, if I was playing for the Raiders then jumping off a cliff would probably be preferable to finishing the season.

The beauty of that remark being that the people making them never have and never will play footy at that level, so the cliff jumping is nothing but piffle

Bwahahahahaha. I have spent far more time on a rugby league field than you have spent away from your computer keyboard obviously, otherwise you would have responded to good ol’ aussie rival banter far more stylishly. Get out and go watch the raiders lose down the pub with your mates next game.

Here’s hoping he can bounce back.
