WARRINGTON Wolves' incoming marquee signing Gareth Widdop has dislocated his right shoulder for the third time in 12 months.
Widdop, who will join The Wire next year on a three-year deal, left the field in agony during St George Illawarra's NRL clash with Brisbane Broncos this morning after rolling over on his shoulder as he attempted to clear up a kick.
Dragons head coach Paul McGregor confirmed in his post-match press conference that the England half-back had indeed suffered a dislocation.
The injury is to his right shoulder - the same one he dislocated twice last year and had reconstructive surgery on that ruled him out of England's Test series against New Zealand.

Concern for Gareth Widdop is dislocation of R shoulder, same shoulder he dislocated twice last season & required reconstruction surgery. He could rehab for 3-6wks if damage minimal & shoulder stable, but big concern dislocating it again so soon. If surgery required: 3-6 months pic.twitter.com/3xlvIr3HoG
