Joseph was all in, Walsh messed up, and Klein had a choice to make, so he went with what he thought was the best move.
Yep
Juan Gonzalez
Nah, that's just originality for ya! Reece was taking a tumble and Joey was all in for the tackle. A time out would have been enough. The boot out totally messed up the game yesterday.
Yep

I'm a Queenslander but Reece accidentally fell into it, so maybe give him a max of ten. Andrew Hicks

Klein's all over the place with his calls, the bunker is a mess, and the players are clueless! And don't even get me started on how soft the game has become! Maybe Walsh needs to invest in some better cleats to keep himself on his feet!

If Teddy got knocked out of the game, you guys would be bawling even more than you already are. You'd probably be wishing our player was out for the whole season. And what's the deal with your captain getting benched for most of the game? He usually plays 70 to 80 minutes at Manly. Keith Bryant

Yes, send him but only for 10 minutes and let the MRC handle it. State of Origin is not touch footy, watch the women tonight, they hit harder than the first game.
Yep
Dale Phillips
It was totally Walsh who gave Sualii's shoulder a little love tap! I mean, Sualii's shoulder belonged there, but Walsh's head definitely didn't. That call totally threw off NSW and let QLD score right away. Game, set, match.
Yep
Ronald Young
Just ten little minutes! Totally not enough to spoil the fun. I turned away when that happened.
Yep
Brian Walsh
Despite Walsh slipping, he still managed to hit him in the head during the send off. No room for complaints, to be honest.
Yep
Mick O'Neill
Yeah, nah. His suspension wasn't too harsh for an accident.
Yep
Andrew Perry
A lot of players go after Walsh for their own reasons, and the Blues knew what he could do, so it's no shock that Suaalii got kicked out. Darren Hawkins

Was Ashley Klein scoring that gig the right move?

Is Reece not playing tonight in the NRLW State of Origin because he can't handle playing with the big boys, and Daddy Kev can't protect him?
Yep
Willie Mitchell
It wasn't just the right call, mate. It was the only call! Let's hope the penalty is dished out fair dinkum, like in State of Origin matches, not club games.

He should have just gotten a slap on the wrist and kept playing because Walsh got a little too friendly with a high tackle.
Yep
Peter Fumagalli
Oh yeah, he totally meant to do it! That right arm was glued to Sualii's side the whole time. It was definitely gonna be a shoulder charge, no matter where Walsh got hit.
Yep
Thomas Harris
There was no sin bin, both players were going for the ball and Reece slipped and got injured. NSW was at a disadvantage and should have walked off because playing with one less player was costly in the state of origin game.

No bro, that's what origin is all about. Reece was going down and Joey was already locked in for the tackle. Putting him in the sin bin would have been enough. Kicking him out of the game messed up last night's match.
Yep
Doug Brennan
This tackle, mate, you don't see it every week, but when it's Queensland involved, forget about it! That's why me and heaps of others don't bother watching league.
Yep
Jack Young
Yeah, whoever be whining about that call needs to get their act together and learn the rules. It was a clear shoulder to head hit and NSW got served for it. They didn't do nothing when May put Walsh in the hospital with a busted eye socket, so I'm happy they finally made the right call this time. Mi... View More

If Teddy took that hit and was benched, you blues would be bawling even harder. You'd be begging for our guy to be out for good. And what's up with your captain getting sidelined for most of the game? He usually goes the distance at Manly. Joe Palmer

He should've copped a penalty, mate, and kept playin' on 'cause Walsh copped a high hit tryin' to dodge the tackle.

Walsh headbutted Sualii's shoulder, shaking up NSW and leading to QLD's immediate scoring. Game over.
Yep
Johnny Rodriguez
Yep, absolutely foul and planned in advance. They even spruiked that they were gonna sort him out.

Johnny TaylorJT
Johnny Taylor
Yeah, mate. Absolutely revolting and planned. They even spruiked that they were gonna knock him off.
Yep
Brenton Murdoch
Yeah mate, he meant to do it. His right arm never left Sualii's side. It was always gonna be a shoulder charge, no matter where Walsh got hit.

Steve Kirby
It wasn't just the fair dinkum decision, mate. It was the only bloody decision!!! Hope the penalty is fair dinkum in line with the offence - State of origin games, not club games.
Yep
Christopher Lopez
Yes, knocking out a player does not guarantee winning a match; skill does, as shown by the final score.
Yep
Jonathan SteeleJS
Jonathan Steele
Yeah, whoever's whining about it not being the right call needs to grow a pair and have a read of the rules. It was a shoulder to head clash and NSW copped it on the chin. They didn't do anything when May corked Walsh's eye socket, so I'm stoked they made the right decision this time. Ben Wilson

That was a tricky one, didn't even have possession, but made contact with the noggin... for sure a stint in the sin bin, but gotta trust the Ref's decision. It was Walsh after all, and you know he's always a marked man.

It seems suspicious that publicly announcing a player acquisition happened so quickly, and it's fortunate to receive a short suspension from a likely favored Sydney team. Madeline James

If that player wasn't such a delicate flower, it would be game on! That guy is a total showpony.
Yep
Brad Schutz
Oh for sure! It wasn't the knockout that sealed the deal, it was all about skill and strategy. Just check out the final score, it tells the whole story.
Yep
Danny Kelly
No worries, send him in but only for 10 minutes then let the MRC handle it. C'mon guys, it's state of origin, not touch footy. Watch the women's game tonight, I reckon they hit harder than the blokes did in the first game.
Yep
Chris Watts
It's easy peasy to get, folks! If you make any rough or head-on contact on purpose or by mistake, you're outta here. No need for debates or detective work!
Yep
Brandon Henderson
Yes, but his suspension was not too severe for just an accident.
Yep
Anthony Nicholls
Isn't Reece playing the NRLW State of Origin tonight because he can't handle playing with the big boys and Daddy Kev can't protect him?

Nah, that tackle was straight up dirty, got what he deserved with that sin bin and 5 weeks off. But damn, it totally messed up the game.

Robert Johnstone
This tackle happens all the time, but of course it had to involve Queensland. That's why me and a bunch of others don't bother watching league.
Yep
Jay Willis
That was a tricky one! No ball, head clash... yup, definitely a timeout in the sin bin. But hey, I trust the Ref's decision. Walsh is a real threat on the field, so it's no surprise he's getting some extra attention.

No penalty box action, but it's a real man's game with both players going for the ball. Reece slipped up and took a hard hit, unfortunately. This is like a state of origin match.

HELL NO! That tackle straight up wrecked the game, but let's be real, it was dirty AF and that player definitely deserved to be sent to the sin bin and suspended for 5 weeks.
