Graham Lowe hopeful
NZPA-AFP Wigan, England New Zealand’s Graham Lowe, the coach of the British rugby league club, Wigan, is still hopeful that the Australian skipper, Wally Lewis, will fulfil his three-month contract in Wigan in the New Year, even though he has been refused clearance. Mr Lowe is banking on Lewis’s determination to overcome a recommenda.tion by a Brisbane doctor to the Australian Rugby League that he should rest
because of a damaged shoulder.
"Apparently the problem is not too serious," Mr Lowe said. “Wally feels confident that he could carry on playing without too much aggravation and doesn’t think he should be stopped from coming.” Lewis, who was due to make his debut for Wigan on New Year’s Day, picked up the injury during the Kangaroos’ recent unbeaten tour of Great Britain and France.
