The Canterbury player, Kurt Mann, shared a photo of the shocking consequences of a “clip” at his head during the Bulldogs victory over the dragons on Saturday.
Mann’s eye seemed to be swollen directly after the match, after having suffered while trying to stop unleashing the winger of dragons Christian Tuipulotu.
He shed light on the injury when he was questioned on this subject at the press conference.
“At the end of the second half, Tuipulotu in the area … There was a short break there, I just got caught, I’m just cut on the way to the past,” said Mann.
“It is not as bad as it seems.
Mann published a photo on Instagram on Sunday showing the extent of the damage.

Mann joked with his disciples “Does it always look worse than it is?”
“Does it always look worse than,” he wrote Mann.
Meanwhile, Canterbury captain, Stephen Crichton escaped a ban and, pending fitness, will be free to face the Gold Coast after his attempted sloppy tackle led to a test on the penalty of St George Illawarra.
International Samoan was set up after his knees contacted Christian Tuipulotu while he was trying to cross the line during the Bulldogs NRL victory on Saturday.
The former Première Penrith center on Sunday made a dangerous grade contact charge on Sunday and can accept a fine of $ 1,800 with an early guilt.
This leaves him free to face Gold Coast on Sunday, provided he overcome the problems that saw him finish the shock on Saturday on the sidelines.
Crichton was obviously in discomfort, because he was expected by a coach while the dogs held an end to the house, the captain who did not face the usual post-match press conference.
Coach Cameron Ciraldo has minimized concerns, saying that it was simply a case of lower body cramps.

A compatriot Bulldog Jacob Preston also proposed a fine for a dangerous contact charge, just like the dragon Emre Guller for his tackle on the hip.
Dragons outside Mathew Feagai will also make a fine for his contact on Bronson Xerri, and in the other Saturday match, Karl Lawton, from North Queensland, received the same punishment for his contact on Reuben Garrick de Manly.
