NRL Finals Early Mail: Braydon Trindall will play until the wheels fall off, Sam Walker hint
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.
