- Bulldogs player reveals an incredible shiner
- Suffered by hitting Christian Tuipulotu
The Canterbury player, Kurt Mann, has shared a photo of the shocking consequences of a 'clip' in his head during the victory of the Bulldogs over the dragons on Saturday.
Mann's eye appeared stuffed directly after the game, after having suffered the blow while trying to stop raising the end of the Christian Tuipulotu dragons.
He put the light of the injury at that time when asked about it at the press conference.
“End of the second half, Tuipulotu in the corner … There was a small rest line there, they caught me, they cut me along the way,” said Mann.
“It's not as bad as it seems.”
On Sunday, Mann published a photo on Instagram that shows the scope of the damage.
