Sydney Roosters and Jillaroos star Jessica Sergis is ready to lose a part of her toe to be able to prolong her rugby league profession.
Speaking to The Daily Telegraphin readiness for the Jillaroos conflict in opposition to the New Zealand Ferns in Townsville on Saturday night time, the tough-as-teak 26-year-old says a damaged toe has brought on her havoc since she sustained the harm in final yr’s World Cup Final, regardless of already present process surgical procedure.
“We have to get in there and clean it out or chop the top off. My toes are ugly anyway. A toe is a toe,” Sergis mentioned.

“I didn’t know it was broken. I thought it was infected. I was taking all this stuff to bring the infection down. I got home and had scans and then surgery a few days later.
“I’m still having issues with it. I still can’t fit in shoes. I have to go up in sizes. It’s really annoying.
“It is my left pinky toe. It looks like my big toe to be honest. It’s fat and swollen. If I get stood on it absolutely aches.
“I feel like it’s a bit broken. I had a week off during pre-season and was in hospital for five days because we thought it was infected.”

Sergis says her scenario may probably be just like that of Roosters ahead Angus Crichton, who had half of his finger amputated again in 2017 to make sure he may proceed on along with his profession.
“Angus can cut off a finger, I can cut off a toe,” she mentioned.
Sergis is getting ready to go below the knife once more later this month, The Daily Telegraph studies.
Sergis will begin within the centres for the Jillaroos on Saturday night time, as they open up the inaugural Pacific Championships.
