Sydney Roosters players are rallying around injured teammate Boyd Cordner after it was revealed a foot injury he picked up in Game One of the State of Origin series was worse than they first thought.

The Roosters back‑rower had initially been ruled out for 4 to 6 weeks, but there were reports on Monday evening that Cordner could be sidelined for anywhere between 6‑12 months if the injury setback requires surgery.

The Roosters will face the Melbourne Storm at 9.30pm Saturday.
