Rugby Star's Shock Stroke: 'Pissed Off' He'll Miss Game
31 Mar
Summary
- Kamikamica suffered a suspected stroke after waking up Monday morning.
- He expressed frustration about missing upcoming match after surgery.
- Medical staff believe the episode stemmed from an underlying issue.
Melbourne Storm player Tui Kamikamica is on the mend following a suspected stroke. The 31-year-old Fijian international experienced a seizure in the early hours of Monday morning. He was subsequently transported to Royal Melbourne Hospital for urgent medical attention.
Remarkably, after undergoing surgery, Kamikamica expressed frustration at the prospect of missing an upcoming match against Penrith. Club medical personnel indicate that the episode is likely due to a pre-existing health condition rather than any involvement with rugby league.
Kamikamica has been a significant player for the Storm since 2017, with 142 appearances and 11 tries. His health scare follows a similar incident involving teammate Eli Katoa, who underwent emergency brain surgery last year after suffering head knocks.
