Cliff Watson, the former Great Britain Tesp Prop, had his jaw broken in two places while playing for Cronulla Sharks in a 5 - 2 loss to Penrith at Endeavour Field.
The tough Englishman finished the half out and nonchalantly
told officials at half-time "I think you'd better get a replacement.
There's no risk my jaw is broken."
Just before leaving for the hospital, Watson said to the man who was taking him to hospital; "Can you wait while I whip up and tell the wife I won't be home for tea."
