Cogger also has a hand issue that needs an operation in the off season. Not sure if anyone else picked that up in the call.
Courageous Newcastle halfback Jack Cogger has played the past two games for the Knights with a ruptured tendon in his little finger that requires surgery.
But in sign of his toughness and team-first mentally, Cogger is delaying having the operation until after Mitchell Pearce returns from injury, most likely against Parramatta in three weeks time on July 13.
While it is yet to be determined when Cogger will go under the knife, it is conceivable his final game for the Knights could be on Saturday week against the Bulldogs, the club he will link with on a two year deal at the end of the season.
Knights head of football Darren Mooney confirmed Cogger’s injury but said when he will have the operation is yet to be determined.
“Jack is a tough kid who is putting the team first but it is not an injury than can get any worse and it is not stopping him from playing,”Mooney said.
“At the end of the day, he will need surgery and the discussion on when he has it done will take place with Jack, Nathan [coach Brown] and his staff in due course.”
