Seriously tough

As someone who has dislocated their shoulder over 40 times, he wouldn't have felt much after the initial blow whilst warm and full of adrenalin. Probably had a painkiller at half time too.... but it would have killed him when he went to bed

Did you fracture your shoulder 40 times too? :shock:

Because if you read the news / link that is what you would have found.

Awesome of Brett to put his body on the line for THAT tackle

SOO legendary moment.

With one dislocation I did fracture my scapula, tear the labrum and cause a bankart lesion. The humerous sat above my pec.

My point is once relocated, and it seems he had a subluxation that pretty much went back in, but once back in a lot of pain goes away. Adrenalin does disguise ligament pain i.e. hyperextension. It does however get extremely painful the next day

I was thinking this myself. The only way it can get more brutal is if they lift the no punching rule just for Origin.

I'm not sure if Morris fractured his scapula though, if it was his humerus then it would have been extremely painful particularly tackling.
Both those brothers are very courageous, their dad must be proud.

Tonga did the same thing in Game 1, 2011 didn't he?

Ended up missing 7 weeks just like Brett is about to.

Don't know how they can still make tackles with a f**ked shoulder.

The adrenaline thing does come into play considerably.

I shattered my right tibia into five pieces snow skiing. The only indication that something was wrong was when I stood up, the ski boot swayed around when my knee was stationary.

Pain didn't set in until over an hour.

I wasn't that tough that I continued skiing......:lol:

He also played on against the Broncos in the 2011 semi with a sprained ankle to the point of collapsing.

Legend.

In your case you would have had the cold air and climate to help initially.
You're right though with adrenaline or alcohol.
People can basically dislocate their shoulder drunk and get it put back in and not remember much about it the next day :roll:

Hope Sticky is not counting on Tedesco to replicate the Morris courage . . . wonder what he would think the MnM's are worth
