The Bulldogs star couldn’t even raise his arm after an early collision in Saturday’s clash with the Eels. But he was determined to stay on the field until half-time.
Josh Addo-Carr felt “instant pain” every time he tried to lift his arm while playing with a suspected broken collarbone for a remarkable 33 minutes on Saturday night.
Despite Addo-Carr being in clear pain and favouring his right shoulder, the Eels kicked to his side of the field only a couple of times. “It’s footy. The tackle was shoulder to shoulder. I’ll get the scans, then set another goal to get back as quickly as possible – I’ll come back fit and firing.”Addo-Carr had his right arm heavily strapped at CommBank Stadium, but said there were no issues with his shoulder.“I actually hyperextended my elbow a few weeks ago, but it had nothing to do with this,” he said.Canterbury captain Stephen Crichton knew straight away his winger was in trouble, but urged him to grit his teeth.
“It shows you the culture we’re building, just that playing through adversity. I didn’t know how bad it was. He was saying he couldn’t breathe, so I knew it was going to be pretty bad.”
