It's good fun.
Well, I'll tell you why.
Because back in the, probably 30, 40 years ago, when rugby league was a really nasty sport, and there was really savage high tackles all the time, you had to have a vehicle to send someone off the field.
And they've always preserved that, just so that no one can go absolutely crazy knocking someone out.
And it's the last resort.
And it doesn't happen very often.
It's happened seven times in origin and four by Ashley Klein, that referee.
But some people say, we should get rid of the send-off.
Nah, maybe.
I like having it there for the occasional act where someone completely loses their rag and attacks their head.
I think that might happen there.
But that was, it was an accident by Ponga.
Sure, he was in the wrong, but he's not a malicious player.
There was no malicious intent.
He went in awkwardly on a tackle and, you know, he hit Cole, the winger, on the head.
But it wasn't one of those ones, hey, pal, I'm after you.
So sending him off was a bit extreme.
All right.
What was the story around Gary Sullivan?
Well, this is a story and a half.
