Wests Tigers front rower Ryan O'Hara will undergo surgery on a broken jaw today and will rule him out of the NRL for around eight weeks.
O'Hara was taken to hospital immediately after the trial loss to the Roosters on Saturday night with scans revealing two fractures to the jaw.
Tigers coach Tim Sheens said that despite the injury trial matches are a necessity still in modern football:
"You can train all you like and you can have physical contact which we have had a fair bit of,'' Sheens said.
"You can't at training mimic what is a really good hit out against opposition. You can train against your team-mates and tackle, but when you are playing against an opposition, a strong side, and you playing for something in front of a crowd, everyone performs better. You need that.
"We will only play this one and the one next week against the Titans. Some clubs play three trials, I don't want to play three. I'm happy with two considering the amount of work we did in the pre-season.''
Prop Todd Payten was also sick and sorry after the trial with a heavy concussion following a heavy clash with Tupou and Mason.
