And you know, at the end of the day, he got knocked out.

One thing I will say that's different to the Suoli'i,

which we spoke about at length is it's an eye for an eye.

You lost Reese Walsh, but now you get a replacement player.

So like, I don't factor that in as much to how disappointed I am with the decision of someone getting sent off.

Cause you know, another player comes in, they get replaced.

So that kind of removes that.

But yeah,

At the end of the day, like it was a shoulder charge to the head and a player got lost.

Sin bin or send off, both are fine, I reckon.

And in that press conference can be like when they went to Billy to try and get a reaction, it's like, do you know who you're talking to?

Billy Slater, although he played with so much intent, he invented so many things, not just a head charge.

He kicked people in the face.

He slide tackled you when you were trying to score a try.

Like he knows what's going to happen in those moments.

Of course he was going to give grace to Kalen Ponga for doing his thing.

Like there's never going to be a reaction.

Billy was the first guy that turned really well though on those catches.

He used to end up facing the opposing way.

Controversial take also, there's rumours that Kalen Pong went to the judiciary and said that he actually was going for the shoulder charge and deliberately at the last second changed it to a head charge to protect Kola because he had a headgear on.
