Canberra Raiders forward Noah Martin has been sent for scans on both ankles after a hip-drop tackle from Apisai Koroisau.
The forward was the recipient of a tackle from Tigers hooker Apisai Koroisau in the 25th minute of Thursday night's loss to open Round 8.
While Koroisau was sin-binned and has since been slapped with a Grade 2 charge that will cost him three matches with an early guilty plea or four if he fights and loses, Martin managed to play on in pain, but was eventually taken out of the game at the 43-minute mark.
He did not return.
