Battered and bruised, but still determined to play in Origin II NSW hooker Robbie Farah's facial fracture is unlikely to sideline him for State of Origin II after the injury failed to stop him finishing the first encounter on Wednesday. Farah may not play for Wests Tigers between now and Origin II, on June 26 at Suncorp Stadium, after suffering a broken nose, as well as a fracture to the eye socket and cheekbone, inside the first 10 minutes of the opening encounter. "I was a bit rattled when I first did it," Farah told Fairfax Media. It dazed me a bit. I kind of shook that off, but I knew something was wrong. I could feel something was wrong with my face and my nose. The vision was a bit blurred. Facelift: Robbie Farah proved he was as tough as old boots. But to be honest, while it was uncomfortable, just on adrenaline alone, you get through. It wasn't until after the game, until you've cooled down ... it was pretty sore after that. But you don't think twice about it when you're out there. At half-time, I went into the bathroom and had a look in the mirror, and my face was pretty busted. You just do what you have to do. You get on with the game, and worry about it later. That's what I did. You don't even dream about coming off. You just get on with it. While Farah could not remember clearly the hit that led to the injury, he believed it was his captain Paul Gallen, later involved in an altercation with Myles, who did the damage accidentally. "[He] is taking out his own players as well," Farah said. I'm not sure if it was Gal's hip or ... It was just one of those things. Farah had scans on Thursday morning, which showed a fracture that ran from his eye socket to his cheekbone. He was nursing a black eye when he left the team hotel in Homebush. Tigers doctor Donald Kuah has effectively ruled him out of playing on Sunday against Penrith, adding to the Tigers' injury woes, and conceded he was also in some doubt to play Brisbane on Monday week - the day after the team for Origin II is selected. Farah, the Blues vice-captain, admitted the most likely scenario was for him to be ruled out of club football until the second match of the series. "That's probably the way it's looking at the moment," Farah said. Depending on how quickly it settles down, I might be right to play on Monday week versus Brisbane. I've just got to weigh up the risk of playing. I'll be going on medical advice. It's pretty sore at the moment, but the doctors are pretty confident that it'll settle down over the next 10 days to two weeks, and start to feel a bit better. I should be right for game two. I won't need surgery ... That's the good news, I guess. I won't be playing this week, I don't think, for the Tigers, and next week we're playing Monday night, so that's going to be a risk to play that one. I'll speak to the Tigers and I'll speak to the medical staff at Origin as well. We'll come up with a plan of what we need to do. Blues coach Laurie Daley praised Farah's performance after suffering the injury. Farah made 53 tackles and handled the ball more than anyone else on the ground. "He stayed out there," Daley said.
