Brett Morris knew he was putting himself in danger when he charged after Jarryd Hayne's kick and ended up smashing into an advertising sign at Old Trafford.
But the flying winger wasn't complaining after his two try haul in the 34-2 World Cup final win.
Morris said that despite safety concerns before the game the Kangaroos had challenged themselves not to pull back and protect themselves.
Johnathan Thurston raised the fears the day before the final when he said players were at risk because of the short in-goals areas and the fact the fence was too close to the deadline line.
Thurston's concern was that another player could end up suffering a similar fate to Luke Lewis who had his tournament cut short with a busted shoulder after he collided into an advertising sign at St Helens.
There wee concerns for Morris after he crashed into the fence scoring a try in the 52nd minute - and four minutes after that Manu Vatuvei went down at the other end and Kangaroo players rushed to his aid.

Neither player suffered a serious injury but Morris admitted he was thinking the worst as he slid towards the dead ball line after scoring his try.
"There is a word I am thinking of but I can't say it," he laughed.
"I knew there wasn't much that was going to stop me other than the boarding at the end of the field but as I said we are playing for Australia and you have got to put your body on the line sometimes and pain is only temporary.
"We spoke about the short in-goals and if there was a chance to score a try 30 centimetres from the dead ball line we were going to put our body on the line.
"It was a good try, I'm pretty happy with that."
And as a Manchester United fan, he said copping a bruise on the hip was worth it just for the experience of playing at the famous ground.
"I have been here and watched a couple of games now and I am a big Man United fan so to play on their home ground you have got to pinch yourself," he said.
"To win a World Cup on this field is pretty special.'
