Blore swaps pumpkin soup for feasting on the Broncos

Shawn Blore, a back-rower for Storm, reflected on his experiences leading up to last year's grand final, revealing he was a "nervous wreck." However, this anxiety was overshadowed by a more daunting situation from five weeks ago when he found himself in the hospital due to a fractured larynx.

Blore sustained this injury while making a tackle against the Roosters in Round 26, immediately realizing he was in serious trouble.

During his two-night hospital stay, one of Blore's primary worries was how to meet the nutritional requirements necessary for maintaining his fitness as a professional athlete.

This is where Georgia Walker, the dietitian for Melbourne Storm, stepped in.

Walker quickly formulated a nutritional plan, with the support of Storm's chief medical officer, Rebecca Beaton, to help Blore regain his strength for the upcoming preliminary final against the Sharks.
