The Wests Tigers hooker Robbie Farah’s hospitalization significantly worsened their 36-4 NRL loss to Canterbury, and Josh Reynolds referred to the incident as the scariest thing he had ever seen on a football field.
After scans revealed no head or neck injuries, Farah was recuperating at home late on Sunday night. He had been carried from ANZ Stadium hours earlier, and this week he will go through concussion testing before being cleared to play against Newcastle on Saturday.
Farah was optimistic about the NSW No. 9’s recovery, even though it’s unclear whether he would be able to return to the field before the start of the State of Origin series on June 1. “Thank goodness, my neck scans were negative, and I was able to leave the hospital. I appreciate everyone’s messages very much. I’m grateful,” he tweeted.
Josh Reynolds, a five-eighth for Canterbury, collided with Farah, who was then sent to the hospital as a precaution after suffering an unsettling head and neck injury. The Tigers veteran suffered another setback after missing the first three rounds due to a knee issue.
Robbie is well; he went to the hospital because of some neck soreness, but the doctor says it was only a precaution, according to Tigers coach Jason Taylor. It was fairly obvious that it was a terrible situation, and we were all worried about him. Although we cannot be certain in any manner, the physicians are optimistic that he will recover.
In the 23rd minute, Farah collided with Reynolds’ hip as the Canterbury playmaker attempted to kick, rendering him unconscious. Reynolds was later seen moving around with an ice pack on his hip since the power of the contact was so great.
Reynolds stated, “It was very scary and you don’t want to see that happen to anyone.” “I noticed his lip moving a little.”
Taylor came under new criticism as a result of the defeat, the Tigers’ seventh in their previous eight games. The team suffered a setback before the game began when Sauaso Sue was forced to leave the warm-up due to a rib injury and Josh Aloiai was unable to play in the second half due to a concussion.
Before returning Tigers captain Aaron Woods and Mitchell Moses gave the home team a sniff, the Tigers sailed out to an 18-0 advantage. Although David Klemmer, a prop, led the way with 196 meters, the Dogs’ unrelenting attack ultimately won out. The victory gave them momentum after their erratic performance in the first several games.
Coach Des Hasler stated, “We played good in spots, but we had to win and win big.
