‘Not a boil’: Luai lifts lid on hospital visit as Blues teammate races clock to prove fitness

Luai picked up a nasty fever and his whole chest went red, but the star playmaker stressed the injury wasn’t what was first reported.
“It was just a wound, not a boil,” he explained after spending three days in hospital.
“When I saw the word boil I was like ‘oh man, the boys are gonna roast me’. They’re all giving it to me. I’ll cop that on the chin, but I am just happy I am back feeling a lot better.
“I was probably a bit rundown from backing up after Origin, you start to catch things a bit easier. I got a bit of a staph infection. I went to hospital after the captain’s run and tried to get those antibiotics into my system and be right to play the next day.
“I got there and the doctor said it was a lot worse than what we thought it was. I am feeling a lot better now, I am grateful for that. You take for granted sometimes when you’re in good health, so good to be back now.”
