Any shoulder to head?

Yeah literally in the video you've posted.

Yep

Are you mad? It was a shoulder charge that led to a head clash. Doesn't change the fact he knocked a bloke out with an illegal play

Im on your side sir

No. Head on head. Shoulder on shoulder. You see his shoulder rock back. The video reff knew it just not Klein.

I hate QLD more than most people Big this was a dog shit call Horrible

A straight shoulder charge to the head by Ponga. Ponga's head never moved beacuse it was never head contact. No attempt to tackle or take precaution. And a cheap shot too with the NSW player wrapped up by the first tackler. RED CARD all day every day. And lengthy ban. Well done ref.

It's an illegal technique. Ponga is totally in the wrong. But, he shouldn't have been sent off in an Origin.

Direct contact to the head, shoulder charge, forceful and no mitigating factors. Idk what else you want it meets every requirement for a send off. Klein made the correct call.

momentum immediately lost afterwards. Blues nearly lost from a man down though. Good effort 👍

Yes and it’s a shoulder charge 100% a send off

Again, Tough call and I get people saying ruins game but he never tried to make a tackle, QLD have short memory do they remember Suualli getting sent off for getting tackle wrong?

yes?

Queenslander take here: I wouldn’t have too much of a problem if Klein deemed it as “Putting yourself in a dangerous position with no regard for the attacker, causing an injury”. Yet he said “Direct contact with the shoulder to the head” That is my problem… What do you think?

Regardless it was intent to the head and the correct call to send him off

KP fucked this tackle up. I’m not really a fan with it being a send off but you can’t argue with the decision. He should’ve made a better attempt to tackle him.

Yes if you watch the video you posted 👍🏻

Yes.

Looks like it

I am a Rugby Union fan I don’t usually watch league but in our game he would have definitely received a red card, no arms in the tackle, no mitigation and contact to the head, a send off every day of the week.

Worst case 10 minutes in the bin. Stqte of origin its a penalty. Sent off? Absolute joke and laughable excuse to get nsw back in the game. Refs are literally killing the sport this year

No it’s a head clash which this shows. Klein has just made it up even though the video ref said it’s 10.

Klein always ruins big games and the stupid nrl keeps picking him

Only fair for him to be sent as koula was taken out the game too

Johnsy says it best

This is Origin, not netball. The bunker tried to help him but Klein sent himself off for the rest of the series.

Yeah shows it at the part where the shoulder hits the head. On the other angle you’ll see his arm isn’t wrapped too. Have you copped some head knocks like that too?

Yeh

ZERO shoulder to head, Klien should miss the next 2 games !!

Shoulder charge to the head with a guy being rubbed out for the rest of the game, maybe not send off but 100% to the head.

Jayden Su’a was sent off for the Dragons for something far less than that dirty shot and got 4 weeks 4 weeks ago Say what you like it was a shoulder to the head all day and he should receive more than Jayden Su’a Let just wait and see??

Why did you choose that angle when there's another angle that shows a head clash. Be real.

He’s hit him with a shoulder charge on his wrong shoulder. He’s put himself across him and put his head in front. It’s a send off. He should be tackling with his right shoulder

the same thing happened 2 years ago in Sydney Game 1 and NSW lost Joseph Suaalii 8 minutes into the game. Qld didn't complain then.

Last time on field ref overruled bunker? If Klein thought it was a send off. Why refer it? Just send him 🤷‍♂️

It was a shoulder charge, direct contact with head, player left the field. Same as what happened to Walsh in 2024

Good vid. My mate made and excellent case for it as well. If it was a 'head clash', bloke with zero head injuries in the NRL goes Cat 2, whilst bloke who almost medically retired because it, stays on field with nothing. Shoulder did the damage, the light headbutt opened him up
