THE first thing Anthony Quinn could recall from Saturday night was being told by doctors at Epworth hospital he needed scans on his neck.

The Melbourne Storm winger was knocked unconscious, and out for nearly 10 minutes, after copping an accidental knee to the temple during Storm's 14-14 draw with the New Zealand Warriors.

Quinn came to in the ambulance but could not remember anything, including a two-hour chat with his partner Frances, until he was being rolled away for tests.

Quinn, who has been ruled out of Friday night's grand final rematch with Manly at Brookvale Oval, left hospital late on Saturday night and is suffering no ill-effects of the severe concussion, but he is not without problems.

"I can't play my PlayStation, at least for a week. Call of Duty 5, that's my main game," he said yesterday.

"I remember bits of the game, then waking in hospital to get a scan on my head, so I knew something had happened.

"But everything was good. Everything seemed normal.

"We couldn't find where it actually hit until Sunday when I felt a bit of soreness. There was no lump or bruising."

Quinn has watched a replay of the incident, but only once.

While upset at missing the Manly clash, he is content to do everything he is told to make a perfect recovery.

"I'm feeling OK. The main thing is to be sensible, not rush in to anything," he said.

"I'll just do bits and pieces until I'm all good."

The loss of Quinn has added to the selection dilemma for Storm coach Craig Bellamy. He also has to replace young forward Kevin Proctor, who broke an ankle against the Warriors.

Proctor will miss up to 12 weeks, and while Bellamy has a perfect replacement in Sika Manu, who hasn't played this year because of hamstring issues, the coach said he wouldn't rush him back.

"We'd like him back as quick as we can but we are not, after all this time, going to bring him back a week early if it puts him back again," Bellamy said.

"I'll sort of push the medical staff but it's more likely it will be next week."

New Storm players Matt Cross and Hep Cahill are possible replacements for Manu, while Jo Tomane and Brett Anderson could fill Quinn's spot.

Memories of last year's 40-0 grand final thrashing by Manly remain fresh in the minds of most at Storm, but Bellamy said Friday's clash was not about revenge.

"It's a new game, different teams, we are certainly a different team," he said.

"It is Round 8 of 2009, Manly v Melbourne. It's got nothing to do with the past, that's gone."
