How was it a terrible call? It was a text book shoulder charge that ended up making contact with the head. Whether contact was made using his shoulder or head, Ponga, as the defender, had a duty of care.
To answer your question he should miss at least this weekend.
Illegal shoulder charge with direct contact to the head with his head or shoulder (or both), it doesnt matter with current interpretation. What matters is it results in koala now missing games. Not exactly a crazy deliberate act but those be the rules and ponga will be missing games.
What i dont understand is why no one seems to know the current interpretation. Shoulder charge, high chance of injury, contact to the head = send off. Nothing surprising.
I think the issue many see is sin bin v send off. Many do not argue against a sin bin it is send off that is the problem. Now the debate is about head clash or shoulder to head. No rapping of the arm and shoulder did contact the head.
Ok now that is a joke. Suaali'i got 4 weeks for his hit. So pretty much undermines Klein as well for calling a send off.
But Hopoate accidentally makes contact with ref and gets a week?

Poor Eels, they probably thought Saifiti and Ponga would miss our game and now they both will back up
Saifiti was always going to back-up, he was going to get limited minutes. Though shows what a joke of a selection it was to start with. Haas will be in for him now anyway.
