Braydon Trindall vows to play through injury, despite his shoulder issues, as confirmed by teammate Nicho Hynes.

The Australian

Cronulla five-eighth Braydon Trindall's shoulder is hanging on by a thread, but he has made a vow to Sharks teammates that he will play until the wheels fall off.

Trindall, who returned on the weekend after dislocating his shoulder against Canberra last month, will continue to play through the finals series despite having full use of only one of his arms.

His halves partner Nicho Hynes confirmed Trindall will not miss any game time until he is physically unable.

"Yeah, for sure," Hynes said on if Trindall will play on despite the injury. "He won't miss out."

Trindall kept clutching at his shoulder during Cronulla's 26-16 win over North Queensland, and at times his right arm was hanging by his side.

The Dolphins are a strong contender for the premiership, with limited time to capitalize on their current talent.

The dazzling Dolphins have blown their cover.

They are not a team on the rise any more. They are a magnificently well-balanced, harmonious and supremely fit team who can win a premiership.

But it needs to happen this year because in the immediate future they may not get a better chance.

Unless you are Penrith or Melbourne, premiership windows stay open, on average for just a season or two in the NRL (ask the Canberra Raiders) before your blossoming talents which you signed at a bargain price get cherry picked by other clubs offering more cash and you have to regroup for another challenge.

If you don't have luck with injuries you can't win.
