Kiwi breaks jaw

Penrith will be have to field their third-different backline in as many NRL games with a broken jaw ruling out Kiwis winger Dallin Watenezelezniak for up to six weeks. The 22-year-old was injured in Saturday’s defeat of South Sydney but played on through the pain. It’s understood Penrith officials had toyed with the option of playing him again on Friday against Canterbury but there is a concern he could miss up to 12 weeks in the event of another knock. In good news for the New Zealand international, he will not require surgery or to have a plate inserted. Instead, he have a vertical stint put into his chin to keep his teeth in place.
