Storm star Sualauvi Fa’alogo has endured an “embarrassing” moment, injuring himself during his high-flying four-pointer against the Warriors.

“That is quite a leap, may have dislocated his shoulder in scoring,” Andrew Voss said.

“The swan dive gets him straight in the bread basket.”

Voss then likened the acrobatic efforts to that of a gymnast, but a low-scoring one at that.

“His score out of 10, the dismount might be the problem… that’s embarrassing,” Voss said.

“At that point you’ve just got to get up and play the tough guy,” Parker said.

Voss then added: “He is an amazing talent, I’m not going to stop him doing that”.
