Yeah it doesn't look good. Robbie broke his nose and fractured his cheek bone. Fingers crossed he can somehow get back for the Broncos game but I doubt it!

Just heard on 2GB he has a bruised Face, but i guess this could be wrong.
NSW hooker Robbie Farah is in doubt for game two of the Origin series after suffering a suspected facial fracture in the first half of last night's victory against Queensland.
The Tigers skipper will on Thursday afternoon find out the extent of the injury but is in severe doubt for the Wests Tigers' game with Penrith on Sunday afternoon, and could possibly miss game two at Suncorp Stadium.
Farah played the second half with what could be a fractured eye-socket, and was nursing a black eye when he left the team hotel in Homebush on Thursday morning.
The NSW No.9 insists he's unsure how the injury occurred but believes it could have been a case of friendly fire from teammate and skipper Paul Gallen.
Advertisement "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 was in a tackle and I got a bit dazed. I'm not sure if it was Gal's hip or … It was just one of those things.
"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 there was some concern over the fitness of his hooker leading into second game of the series.
Daley praised the 29-year-old for pushing through the pain barrier to help NSW to victory, despite having a capable replacement in Josh Reynolds sitting on the bench.
"It's obviously not great," Daley said of Farah's injury.
"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."

It's confirmed to be a fractured cheekbone and a broken nose. Not the eye socket.

Sore Farah could miss Tigers NRL clash

Robbie farah is confident he'll be ready for game two of Origin in Brisbane on June 26

NSW hooker Robbie Farah has been diagnosed with a broken nose and a fractured cheekbone and is in doubt for the Wests Tigers' NRL clash with Penrith on Sunday.
Farah played the full 80 minutes in Wednesday's State of Origin opener despite the injury he believed was caused accidentally by NSW skipper Paul Gallen, but underwent scans on Thursday morning.
A Tigers official said Farah will meet club doctor Donald Kuah to determine how long he will need to spend on the sidelines, but the 29-year-old says he'll be ready for game two of Origin in Brisbane.
"The face is a bit battered and sore, but the pain doesn't feel so bad after a win," Farah told AAP.
"I think it was Gal (Gallen) that did it - not only was after their blokes, but ours as well."
Farah made 53 tackles in the Blues' 14-6 win but said the huge effort from the whole team needed to be repeated at Suncorp Stadium on June 26.
"It's only one game," he said.
"It was good to get the victory, but it'll be a different beast going up to Suncorp. Queensland will be a lot better up there."
Farah singled out Jarryd Hayne for special praise after the fullback produced a storming display both in defence and attack.
Hayne scored the opening try but Farah said it was his defensive effort which should be lauded.
"Jarryd was outstanding, he had a great game, he scored but his try save on Cameron Smith came at a vital time," he said.
"There was another by Josh Morris in the first half on Darius Boyd. Those are the moments that win you games.
"They say a try saved in Origin is a good as one scored. I can't fault anyone."
"We had belief last year and, as a group, we're growing and coming together."
