Apologies if this has already been mentioned, haven't seen it anywhere else yet though. Lots of talk on Sky's "Extra Time" show about Sinfield having copped a fractured cheekbone early on, but still playing through the rest ofn the game.



Firstly, if this is the case, fair play to him for sticking it out. However, they're talking about him possibly missing the rest of the season????

If he can play through most of the game with a fractured cheekbone, surely he can play through it again? If they rest him next week, can't see why he wouldn't be able to play in the play-offs - maybe with some kind of face mask?

give him some sort of mask, maybe a friday the 13th jason type of thing?



Then pump him full of enough painkillers for an elephant and away we go.

It might be an idea to wait and see what an x-ray might show before jumping to the same conclusions as the Sky commentary team who are paid to stir up controversy and discussion.

Things like that are often ok on the day and worse later. Depends how badly fractured and how much it swells up. Might be a small crack and OK to play the rest of the season, particularly with a couple of weeks break likely coming up.

I think it was your coach who said it to be fair. If he's managed to play on with it I can't see it keeping him out

if he played the best part of the game tonight with it, give him a week off against salford and he'll be fine for playoffs i'm sure

A Jason Voorhees mask would be quality!

As long as it isn't a poncy Phantom of the Opera type thing!

They could have their suspicions but no-one will know how bad it is until its been x-ray'd and that might not be for a few days if its badly swollen & bruised.

Had a very good game, hope he's OK

Yeah I meant it was your coach who said it was a possible break

Way I saw it, McLennan was getting a "reason" in for resting Sinfield next week.



He didn't look very concerned and like has been said, why play him for the whole match if its broken?

Off for a scan tonight/tomorrow for a suspected fractured cheekbone.



Not looking good I'm afraid!
