The rugby league world is up in arms over a controversial hit from a Broncos player that has left fans and commentators divided.

In a game where the Rabbitohs were dominating with a 22-0 lead, a moment of controversy arose in the 55th minute.

Broncos second rower Jordan Riki appeared to deliver a questionable hit on Rabbitohs skipper Cameron Murray, who was not in possession of the ball at the time.

The hit, which seemed to be high, forced Murray to leave the field for a head injury assessment.

Fans were quick to voice their opinions, with some suggesting that Riki should have been sent off for the incident.

The incident even led to some pushing and shoving between Riki and Latrell Mitchell.

Overall, the incident has sparked debate within the rugby league community, with some fans calling it a 'dog shot' and others questioning the referee's decision not to take more severe action.

The game may be over, but the controversy surrounding Jordan Riki's hit is likely to linger on in rugby league circles.
