Rugby League player has his dislocated shoulder casually popped in by trainer
On Friday night in Australia, the Brisbane Broncos were losing to the Melbourne Storm — badly. In the final minute they were down by 42 points, the game was clearly lost and there was nothing to play for but pride. That’s what makes Kodi Nikorima so ridiculous.
After being pushed out of the backline Nikorima grabbed his left shoulder. A trainer casually jogged over, grabbed his arm and popped it back into place. That is ridiculous on its own, but wait for it — things are about to get more wild.
The Sydney Morning Herald wrote about Nikorima’s shoulder and ...
It was revealed that Nikorima dislocated his shoulder in the first half but played on as he tried to patch up a reshuffled backline. The diminutive bench utility was slotted first onto the wing and then at fullback but could not stop Melbourne taking full advantage of Corey Oates’ absence, after the Maroons’ winger left with a concussion.
An NRL half lasts for 40 minutes. This means Nikorima played with a dislocated shoulder for AT LEAST 40 minutes. There are no words. It would be totally understandable if you collapsed in pain and cried like a baby if your shoulder was dislocated, but this dude kept playing rugby and didn’t act like it bugged him until a much larger dude ran into it with a full head of steam.
