RABBITOHS premiership-winning forward Kyle Turner is facing an indefinite absence from the game after suffering a neck injury in the All Stars clash on the Gold Coast.

Turner was admitted to Gold Coast University Hospital following Friday's match at Cbus Super Stadium.

The 22-year-old left the field in just the fourth minute after he was hit hard by NSW captain Paul Gallen.

FULL NRL CASUALTY WARD

Gallen was placed on report for the tackle but the NRL Match Review Committee did not issue any charge after reviewing the incident.

Turner's mother Leanne took to Facebook on Sunday to update friends and family on his progress.

"As a parent you try to prepare yourself for whatever may come seeing your son live his dream but it's heartbreaking to see him get injured," she wrote.

"Kye is ... awaiting the MRI results, CT scan reveal he has a protruding disc on his spine and has pain, pins and needles in his arms and hands.

"He will be out indefinitely, we are worried sick."

Turner cut a sombre figure in the indigenous All Stars dressing room after the match with coach Laurie Daley making special mention of his efforts during the week.

Turner did not seem visibly distressed following the match but it is possible he suffered an injury to a disc in his spine which was causing pain and pins and needles in his arms and hands.

A hospital representative said Turner had been discharged on Sunday.

Rabbitohs officials were unavailable for comment given the team was travelling to England to be part of the World Club Challenge.

On Saturday night, coach Michael Maguire said Turner had been hospitalised as a precautionary measure and his injuries were not expected to be serious.

"He's all right," Maguire said after the Rabbitohs' trial at Redfern Oval.

"He's still up (on the Gold Coast), we kept him in hospital overnight just to make sure but from what I've been told he should be right."

However, it is now looking as though the back-rower, who came off the bench in last year's NRL grand final win over Canterbury, may be rubbed out for an extended period.

There were concerns over Turner given he suffered a number of concussions last year, an issue which has been closely monitored by the Rabbitohs and NRL.

A chorus of boos went around Cbus when replays of the Gallen tackle screened with Indigenous captain Johnathan Thurston questioning Gallen for the apparent elbow he dropped on the dazed Turner's face.

All Stars founder Preston Campbell said the tackle sparked the Indigenous team.

"It was a very spirited performance from both teams. No one slackened off," he said.

"When Gal roughed up one of the boys early in the game, it showed it was just as real for the NRL team as it is for us.

"Even though you don't want to see that sort of stuff, it was a signal.

"They were always going to put their hand up and bust their guts to do their best to win that game.

"A lot of people didn't think they'd go as good as they did."
