The Raiders said Scott would go for scans on Monday, but he could be out for an extended time if he has fractured a floating rib.

Scott appeared to be injured when he took a hit up coming out of yardage in just the fourth minute of the game.

While he played out the 80 minutes, he was clearly in pain.

Raiders co-captain Jarrod Croker revealed the 23-year-old didn't have an injection during the half-time break and was suffering throughout.

He joked he wasn't surprised by Scott's courage - given how "mad" he was - before more seriously reflecting on how it showed his young teammate bled green.

Croker knows what he's talking about, producing a similar effort in last year's preliminary final after injuring his shoulder in the opening minutes but still playing out the game.

NRL Physio Brien Seeney said ribs can take a long time to heal.

It would be a big loss for the Raiders, given the form Scott has started the season in, as they prepare to face an improved Titans on the Gold Coast on Saturday.

They have a ready made replacement in Sebastian Kris - although he has to pass concussion protocols during the week after suffering a head clash with teammate Ryan James.

Matthew Timoko would be the other option, after Harley Smith-Shields suffered a suspected ruptured biceps tendon playing NSW Cup.

"I'd like to say I did [learn something about Curtis], but I knew he was mad anyway," Croker said.

"That was as courageous an effort as I've seen from Scotty.

"They couldn't even give him any pain killers or anything, so he played the whole game with it.

"That's the sort of effort that makes you proud of the green jersey and I hope everyone realises how much pain he was actually in because that was an unbelievable effort from him.

"It's not like he's going against little fellas - they're big boys out there - and he copped a whack on it again in the second half.

"I hope he's OK. That sort of effort from Scotty is what the green jersey is about."

Croker had a front-row seat for the controversial Kodi Nikorima pass that set up New Zealand Warriors prop Ben Murdoch-Masila's try in the visitor's come-from-behind win at Canberra Stadium on Saturday.

It looked a clear forward pass, but wasn't called by the officials and the try helped the Warriors to a three-point win.

Raiders coach Ricky Stuart was forced to bite his tongue in the post-game press conference - to stop himself getting a fine for criticising officials.

NRL head of football Graham Annesley hadn't had a chance to review the Raiders-Warriors game on Sunday, with his focus on the COVID-19 outbreak in Brisbane.

At this stage, the Raiders' trip to the Gold Coast was unaffected with the Broncos set to fly to Melbourne early before their game against the Storm on Friday.

The Cronulla-North Queensland game on the Sunshine Coast on Saturday could also be affected.

Annesley admitted Nikorima's pass could be one of the controversial decisions examined at his weekly briefing on Monday.

"It looked forward to me, but we can't change that, there's nothing we can do," Croker said.

"It felt for a second like everyone did stop and it was about to be called a forward pass. That's what it felt like out there, but they gave it a try.

"Those things come and go against you in a game and that one went against us. It did look forward, but I haven't had another good look at it."
