A seriously classy display of sportsmanship after an NRL star’s distressing moment has been captured in one perfect photo.
The NRL’s battle of the west was not the scene you’d expect to find one of the most tender acts of the season — but that’s what Eels star Ryan Matterson provided on Friday night.
Koroisau appeared to take a hip bone to the head as he dashed in to tackle Eels winger Blake Ferguson — a tackle that saw the Eels handed a penalty for holding on too long. When Koroisau still tried to re-join the Panthers’ defensive line, Matterson wrapped him up again and waved to the Penrith bench for immediate medical attention.
