Kahu is among the most unlucky of NRL players, a gifted footballer repeatedly cut down by cruel injuries. He would have been the Broncos’ five-eighth for round one this season if not for another crushing knee injury in a trial match at Redcliffe. It was his third pre-season injury. While initially there were fears of an anterior cruciate tear, it was only a minor strain, but after returning to football for Wynnum Manly, he injured his hamstring. For once, Kahu’s timing was perfect. His hamstring recovered just in time for him to be a late addition for Brisbane following the demotion of three players for disciplinary breaches. Kahu even scored a try in their shock victory over New Zealand on Saturday night. “Mentally, it was a lot harder than the other two,” Kahu said. “Physically it was a lot easier. “After cementing my spot last year, coming back and getting injured it was hard to take mentally. “I stuck with it and got a game tonight and I hope I get a few more games this season.” Kahu said the days after he ruptured his knee at Dolphin Oval were among the toughest. “It was unlucky. I don’t like that field very much,” Kahu said. “I didn’t know if I had done my ACL again then the scans came back and told me I hadn’t done it… my spirits lifted. “I knew I had a couple months of hard work ahead of me but I had done a lot more months than that. “I was waiting for a little niggle. The last couple of times I have been injured I have always got a niggle after returning (from the knee injury). “I was waiting for something because the body, as ready as it was, there is always something going to go wrong that I have to get through and then came the hamstring. “Mate, I’m just happy to be back playing with the Broncos.” [/QUOTE]
