CANTERBURY centre Morris may face a lengthy stint on the sideline after striking the face of Issac Luke that sidelined the Souths hooker for the second half of the Good Friday clash.

Morris was placed on report for striking Luke in the face with his boot while trying to stop the hooker from scoring a try on the stroke of half-time.

It was a double whammy for the Rabbitohs ace, who was busted wipe open twice.

First, Sam Kasiano’s knee whacked the side of Luke’s head, which will also come under the scrutiny of the NRL Match Review Committee.

Then, Morris’s right foot drilled him in the face.

The Rabbitohs were awarded an eight-point try by referee Gerard Sutton.

Morris was allowed to stay on the field, while Luke was taken straight into the sheds to undergo a concussion test.

He was ruled out of participating in the second half after failing the test.

It was the second straight week Luke has found himself in the thick of the action after a running battle with Chris Sandow in the Rabbitohs loss to the Eels last Friday.
