PAUL Gallen didn't just ruin Nate Myles' face last night. He left teammate Robbie Farah with a suspected fractured eye socket, with the hooker in doubt for Origin II.
Farah has been sent for scans and was sporting significant facial bruising when he left Homebush this morning following last nights 14-6 win.
The brave rake played most of the game with the injury, topping the NSW tackle count with 53.
"I'm not sure how it happened, it might've been in the first half and I think it was actually Gal, who is taking out his own players as well," Farah said.
"It wasn't a big night for myself. I spent the night icing up trying to get right for this week. I have to go for a scan on the face and see the damage. It's not feeling the best at the moment but it's always better after a win."
Blues coach Laurie Daley conceded Farah is in doubt for Origin II at Suncorp Stadium on July 3.
"It's obviously not great," Daley said.
"We'll see how he pulls up over the next couple of days. I thought he was tremendous last night and showed good leadership.
"He did [the injury] early but he stayed out there. Again, that's Origin. You have to dig in, protect your mate, stick up for one another and battle through the tough times. Robbie certainly did that and displayed good leadership qualities."
f**k me.
