Speaking on Fox Sports, commentator Michael Ennis said: \u201cThis might be a send off. He\u2019s come out of the line with intent and has absolutely rocked Luke Laulilii.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe comes out of the line and just gets it wrong and he\u2019s going for the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a big moment in Newcastle\u2019s season. He\u2019s gone. He has to be… That is savage.\u201d<\/p>\n
Football Central added on social media: \u201cJacob Saifiti is sent off for the Knights! Huge moment in the game, horror tackle that.\u201d<\/p>\n
While The HikingViking, said: \u201cSeriously, what was Saifiti thinking? A complete brain explosion.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the most horrible tackles I\u2019ve seen in a long bloody time.\u201d<\/p>\n
And another viewer added: \u201cJust saw the Saifiti hit. Holy f***.\u201d<\/p>\n
Laulilii was taken off for a HIA (head injury assessment) and medical staff deemed he was unable to return to the field as his debut ended in disappointment.<\/p>\n
After Saifiti\u2019s send off, the Knights did score another try to extend their lead to 16 points, but then the wheels began to come off.<\/p>\n
The Wahs scored four unanswered tries to take a six-point lead, before the Knights reduced the deficit to head into halftime trailing 22-20.<\/p>\n
