Canterbury prop Jack Hetherington was given his marching orders by referee Ashley Klein after he clotheslined Cowboys fullback Valentine Holmes.
With 55 minutes played Bulldogs playmaker Kyle Flanagan kicked the ball high and into the right hand corner at Queensland Country Bank Stadium.
Kyle Feldt fielded the ball and passed inside to Holmes.
As the fullback tried to jink his way through the line, Hetherington caught Holmes round the neck and a melee ensued.
Fox League’s Andrew Voss said in commentary: “It’s the old-fashioned coat hanger, it’s a Hills hoist from Jack Hetherington.
“I’m thinking a send-off is the communication of Klein, he’s just said is there any reason why I shouldn’t? Jack Hetherington might be off the field here.”
Klein called Hetherington over before telling him he was off.
Bulldogs coach Trent Barrett cut a forlorn figure on the sidelines as Hetherington trudged down the tunnel
Vision later seen on Fox League showed his anguish as Holmes ran straight down the middle to set Jake Granville up for the Cowboys.
“I’m not going to argue with that being a send-off,” said Fox League’s Greg Alexander.
“A send-off is subjective, but there was enough force and swing in that tackle to say that deserves to be a send-off.
