Canberra winger Jordan Rapana says he's not a diver, and the unlucky Raiders flyer has medical scans to prove it. Rapana will see a specialist on Wednesday for a suspected fractured cheekbone, which could potentially sideline him for up to eight weeks. Rapana said he'd been insulted by insinuations and media commentary he stayed down to milk a penalty after a tackle from South Sydney's Chris Grevsmuhl in the first half of Sunday's game. The 25-year-old, who played on for 25 minutes with a fractured skull last year, also suffered a burst ear-drum in a separate incident against the Rabbitohs, but completed the match in protective headgear. Roosters coach Trent Robinson has ignited a campaign to eradicate diving from the NRL, labelling it an "epidemic" after Dragons player Euan Aitken stayed down from a Dylan Napa tackle on Saturday. Two weeks ago, Souths veteran Glenn Stewart admitted to "gamesmanship", intentionally taking a fall to influence a no-try ruling against the North Queensland Cowboys. Rapana had initial scans on Tuesday and the club fears he could have a depressed cheekbone. Rapana is hoping it is only nerve-damage, but he rejected accusations he'd taken a dive and feigned injury . "Maybe they could put some boots on and see how they like it when they cop a shoulder to the head," Rapana said. "It bugged me a little bit, but they're not in my shoes and they don't know how it felt. "It genuinely rocked me and hurt me so I stayed down. I wasn't trying to milk a penalty. "My whole face went tingly and numb, it was pretty sore to be honest. I got checked out on the spot. I was alright, it didn't knock me out, it just rattled me, no concussion or anything. "Even now it's numb, I can't feel my teeth, it feels like I've been to the dentist. "I'd like to think I'm a tough player, it gets under my skin a little bit when you hear people questioning my toughness. I know within myself I'll play on whenever I can. I definitely did not take a dive." Rapana "It was pretty close to it, it was on the left side, just below where my plate is," Rapana said. "That obviously crossed my mind. It went all numb and tingly when it happened, that's the first thing I did, start feeling around my skull. I think it was more a self-conscious thing, but it was fine." Rapana Rapana "I think there are players that do take a dive, just because a finger or hand touches the chin they go down," he said. "I do think it's a bit of a problem, there are a lot of players that do that, but at the same time you've got to be better with your tackles and technique so you don't make any contact with the head."
