He will be ruled out of this weekend's game in any case but how long he spends on the sideline has yet to be determined. Given the recent headlines about concussion in rugby league, the matter will no doubt be watched by NRL officials.

Roosters playmaker Luke Keary missed five weeks of football, including any hope of playing Origin, after a pair of concussions this season. The Cowboys will hope Morgan is available earlier than that but all will depend on the medical staff.

Maroons great Paul Vautin said in commentary that Morgan was 'twitching on the floor. He needs a break'. It proved to be a turning point in the game but all of the concern now will focus on Morgan's health, not the result of the match.
