EVERYONE knows that rugby league players are tough.
However, every so often, an injury comes along that makes people wince at the obvious pain that a player has had to go through after suffering it.
One such player is Leeds Rhinos star Caitlin Beevers, who received a nasty bang to the eye in her side’s 22-0 Challenge Cup Final loss to St Helens on Saturday afternoon.
She uploaded a photo onto her Instagram story in the aftermath of that defeat with the caption: “Play rugby they said.”
Alongside the injury, Beevers also posted on Instagram: “08/06/2024 Wembley Challenge Cup Final🏟️
“Yesterday just wasn’t our day. I’m proud of the team and we learn from the occasion. We have a special group here and I’m excited to see what we can achieve for the rest for the 2024 season. Forever grateful to be a Rhino🦏💙💛
“Thank you for all the support and messages of concern in regards to my eye. I’m all good and in the best hands with our medical team😁.”
