Hudson Young's late hit on Kalyn Ponga has landed him in hot water, with the NRL revealing his punishment for the incident.
The Canberra forward was sin-binned for his high shot on the Knights fullback during the Raiders' 28-12 win on Thursday night.
While Ponga managed to shake off the hit and continue playing, fans were left fuming over the dangerous tackle.
The rugby league community was quick to condemn Young's actions, with many labeling the hit as unnecessary and reckless.
Despite escaping suspension, Young's reputation has taken a hit, with calls for tougher penalties on players who engage in foul play.
The incident serves as a reminder of the need for player safety and respect on the field, as the NRL looks to crack down on dirty tactics in the game.
