Storm Rocked as Veteran Forward Suffers Suspected Stroke

Tui Kamikamica, 31, is recovering in hospital after treatment for a suspected stroke, marking a serious health concern for the Melbourne Storm forward.

  • On Monday, Melbourne Storm forward Tui Kamikamica was hospitalized following a suspected stroke. The club confirmed he has undergone treatment and is currently recovering in hospital.
  • The 31-year-old Fijian international has featured in all four Melbourne matches this season, including Saturday's loss to North Queensland, and has played 142 NRL games for the Storm since debuting in 2017.
  • This health scare follows teammate Eli Katoa's ongoing absence after he suffered serious brain injuries playing for Tonga against New Zealand at Eden Park in Auckland late last year.
  • Coach Craig Bellamy recently expressed uncertainty regarding Katoa's return, telling Seven's The Agenda Setters program last week that he does not know if the forward will play again following his major injury.
  • The Melbourne Storm are scheduled to face the Penrith Panthers at Commbank Stadium this Friday night, with further updates on Kamikamica's condition to follow when appropriate.
