Simi Sasagi aims to represent Samoa in the World Cup despite a shoulder injury, prioritizing his participation over necessary surgery.
Centre Simi Sasagi is so desperate to represent Samoa that he wants to delay a much-needed shoulder surgery to feature in the Rugby League World Cup.
Sasagi has made a compelling case to represent the Pacific nation in the tournament beginning in October as he's displayed his electric playmaking skills, lethal try scoring and blistering runs for Canberra this NRL season.
But the centre has had his campaign partially derailed by a flurry of injuries, including a constant flare-up of his shoulder.
