Sorry, boys: Klemmer apologises after late send-off (NRL.COM)

David Klemmer apologised to his team-mates in the dressing room after being sent off after the full-time siren sounded on his team's wild 40-28 loss to ...

He let his emotions probably take over there but he’s not Robinson Crusoe for that to happen. “We compounded it with a penalty, they went down the other end and we had to be better at handling the penalty, and that’s where we're at – being able to fight our way through adversity. “We had an opportunity there where we had our foot on their throat a little bit, and we didn't get the ball back from the drop-out and that’s OK, but we had to be better at handling that,” O’Brien said. “That’s why I’ve built my game and that’s who I am, but definitely, a lot of emotion went into tonight and the result was obviously dealt with, and we came away with the two points in the end.” With the game out of reach, he and Koloamatangi had to be separated in the final minutes after coming together off the ball in back play. Moments after he and Keaon Koloamatangi almost came to blows, Klemmer charged in to make a tackle on Daniel Suluka-Fifita in the final seconds of the game and his forearm made contact with the Rabbitoh forward's head as they went to the ground.

South Sydney have claimed a 40-28 win over the Knights but the match has finished with some bad blood and Newcastle forward David Klemmer getting sent off.

Ginnane continued: “Reckless is a big charge, it holds a number of weeks if it holds with the match review. He’s not Robinson Crusoe for that to happen.” Speaking after full-time, Cooper Cronk said: “Honestly, David Klemmer stepped over the edge. The bunker have seen something we haven’t.” “I think it was for the work on the ground with the forearm but that’s not a send off,” Roach added. It was a high scoring game as South flexed its attacking muscle but a slow start and inconsistent defence allowed the Knights to stay in the game.
