UPDATE: ROBBIE Farah has all but been cleared for Origin II after scans revealed he suffered an undisplaced fracture of the cheekbone and broken nose and will only miss two weeks.

Combined with Origin duty, Farah is not expected to play for the Tigers again until round 16.

Tigers doctor Donald Kuah described the results as "almost the best case scenario", with initial fears Farah would miss Origin II on June 26.

"It's relatively good news," Kuah said. "It's not a stress fracture."

Blues skipper Paul Gallen didn't just ruin Nate Myles' face last night, he left Farah sporting significant facial bruising when he left Homebush this morning following last night’s 14-6 win.

The brave rake played most of the game with the injury, topping the NSW tackle count with 53.

The Farah incident occurred only moments before Gallen hit Myles with a flurry of punches to ignite the Origin blockbuster.

"I'm not sure how it happened, it might've been in the first half and I think it was actually Gal, who is taking out his own players as well," Farah said.

"It was in a tackle and I got a bit dazed. I'm not sure if it was Gal's hip or ... It was just one of those things.

"It wasn't a big night for myself. I spent the night icing up trying to get right for this week. I have to go for a scan on the face and see the damage. It's not feeling the best at the moment but it's always better after a win."

Blues coach Laurie Daley had originally conceded Farah could miss game two at Suncorp Stadium.

"It's obviously not great," Daley said.

"We'll see how he pulls up over the next couple of days. I thought he was tremendous last night and showed good leadership.

"He did [the injury] early but he stayed out there. Again, that's Origin. You have to dig in, protect your mate, stick up for one another and battle through the tough times. Robbie certainly did that and displayed good leadership qualities."

Paul Gallen will appear on Sterlo on FoxSports at 7.30 AEST tonight. See the full replay of Sterlo on News+ sites (Daily Telegraph, Herald Sun Courier Mail) tomorrow morning.
