Cronulla forward Anthony Tupou insists he bears no ill-feelings towards Konrad Hurrell as the pair prepare to clash for the first time on Saturday since the Warriors star shattered the Shark's jaw.
Tupou couldn't talk for three weeks and struggled to eat for months following the sickening collision in round nine.

"I had a lot of time to think about and I just think we're playing a game of footy and it's rough," Tupou said on Wednesday ahead of the clash in Auckland.
"That's honestly how I feel and I don't have any bad feelings towards him. He's just like everyone else. I want to tackle him hard."
