By Klein standard (which he's set over many years of Origin) this was a sendoff - he's done it multiple times before. By how fans WANT Origin to be played, it's probably play on, but this is a send off for the past 5 years of Origin.
The judiciary not backing his call especially given it was a Cat 2 sends a really confusing message as to whether the NRL actually care about head injuries and CTE or not. A non protected player would've been suspended for weeks.
So I've learnt this morning that the rules around punishment are different for rep games. The same charge would have resulted in Ponga missing 2 weeks if this was an NRL game. On the one hand I get it, but on the other it comes across as though head contact is less of a concern in rep games.
