COURAGEOUS Newcastle hooker Danny Buderus will see a specialist later this week with fears the sickening collision that left him unconscious for almost three minutes against the Sydney Roosters may have stirred up an old back injury that required surgery earlier this season.

Although still feeling the effects of a severe concussion following his tackle gone wrong on Roosters prop Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, the veteran hooker was released from St Vincent's hospital Sunday morning and will spend the next few days recuperating.
He spent the night in hospital under observation and undergoing scans that cleared him of a neck injury.
But it's understood one of the scans showed up some inflammation around a disc in his back that he had previous surgery on early in the season.
He will know later in the week after seeing his specialist whether the inflammation is any cause for concern.
"No one wants to finish their career this way but I have been fortunate to play the game I love for this long and for us to finish in the top four this season," Buderus said Sunday.
"Thank you to everyone for their well wishes and support, not just last night but throughout my career."
"I love this club and have said on a number of occasions I am forever indebted to it."
Knights CEO Matt Gidley, one of Buderus' closest mates, described the incident as "heartbreaking" and admitted to being emotional when he saw Buderus in the dressing room immediately after he was stretchered off.
"Yeah, I was pretty upset. It was a big game for him, knowing how passionate he is and to see him go out like that was hard to take," Gidley said.
"He was real crook and even now that he is home, he is going to be sick and sorry for a few days."
Gidley said the tackle that caused the concussion typified the way the Knights hooker has always played the game.
"It was typical Bedsy - going in to meet a big forward head-on,'' he said.
"That was part of his make-up - to make big defensive statements. That's the courage of the man. The way he leads by example without any fear.
"His technique has always been so good, which is why he has never had too many concussions.
"Unfortunately, he got this one wrong. But it's just one of the many courageous acts of putting his body on the line for his team that Bedsy will be remembered for."
Knights teammate Beau Scott admitted the loss of their inspirational hooker affected the team.
"He's the number one man, the number one person to the team, the town, to everyone really," Scott said.
"I can't give the bloke enough accolades and just hope he is OK."
Gidley said the Knights will take plenty out of the way the team battled on without him against a rampant Roosters outfit.
"I think what happened with him knocked a bit of the spirit out of all of us but I couldn't be prouder of the way we kept fighting on,'' he said.
