Wests Tigers star Adam Doueihi has been rushed to hospital, following a disastrous hit in Sunday’s clash against the North Queensland Cowboys.
Doueihi was attempting to make a tackle on Jason Taumalolo, before ultimately colliding awkwardly with the rampaging front rower.
He stayed on the ground for a while, before medical staff helped him off the field.
Originally taken to the sheds for a Head Injury Assessment, Doueihi was soon diagnosed with a Category Two head knock, which would have allowed him to return to play.
This notion was soon dismissed however, after it was revealed on Fox League that the 27-year-old had suffered fractures around his eye socket and cheekbone.
He has since been rushed to hospital, where doctors will assess the extent of his injuries.
