Maloney busts cheekbone in Origin 2

[Burnt Rooster]

No Roosters will be selected for Origin 3, so don't lose any sleep over that one.

JWH didn't give the penalty away it was Takarangi.

Also reports now that it's a fractured eye socket not cheekbone.

If its a fractured eye socket, they usually wait a week or two for swelling to subside before they operate, and depending on the serveity of the fractures it may take 4-5 weeks for the bone to heal, it's very painfull.

is there any rule that actually says you are not allowed to wear a motorbike helmet on the field, or is it regarded as "not in the spirit of the game" :-)

Won't happen......Mr Potato Head Myles would cry fowl because they don't make one to fit his melon, putting him at a disadvantage.

Well that helps explain why his kicking game was off

Any chance Langi might slot into 5/8 and Morts stays on the bench?

It was his cheek, not his feet???

2nd tier again comes in. I don't think he can play. morts 5/8 and sel on the bench will work. or run sbw as the roving styled 5/8 and Guerra on the bench or liu

Langi is not a second tier player so that is not a consideration. He is amongst our Top 25. Unfortunately, however, he hasn't quite recovered from his shoulder injury and is not available for selection. Whilst Mortiomer did a really good job last Friday I would have been more comfortable seeing Langi slot into the halves in Maloney's temporary absence, but alas that will not occur. Hopefully, Mortimer has two good games in the halves left in him.

Nowhere else on any match reports is anything mentioned about Maloney being injured..

Agree mate, I only saw a take in an article about Gallens injury.

PearceOrf was wearing a few dings to the head compliments of Slaters elbows.

Maybe they got the wrong 1/2 in the rush to get the stories out???

foxsports news also reporting Maloney has a fractured cheekbone

[bondi-boy]

According to Ten Sports reporter Adam Hawse.

@AdamHawse: Maloney busted cheekbone. Could be 2 weeks. Blow for Roosters ... Maybe Decider in doubt.

You couldn't have bet enough money that he'd get injured in Origin.
He's too small for Origin.

There goes our goalkicker.

It was all too good to be true to last a whole season.
