"News out of the Reds changing rooms is that he dislocated his shoulder and the medical staff helped him get that back in," said Morgan Turinui on Stan Sport's coverage.

"Worse than a subluxation. You get a minimum of four to six weeks normally for him to rehab that, if not worse.

"I think he's in the changing room at the moment with his arm in a sling. Not great news for Jordan Petaia and the Reds."

"You can rehab it for six to eight weeks and see if it heals but the worst case scenario is an operation and reconstruction," he said.
