Ex-Sharks hooker Pat Politoni facing lengthy ban for sickening KO punch in Queensland Cup game
The Burleigh Bears hooker unloads
Former NRL player Pat Politoni is facing a huge ban after producing a disgusting punch in an Intrust Cup game.
Ex-Cronulla Sharks rake Politoni becomes embroiled in a dispute with Townsville Blackhawks player Michael Parker-Walshe while playing for the Burleigh Bears.
As the referee penalises Politoni’s side, the hooker walks back towards his own defensive line, before turning and unloading a vicious punch on Parker-Walshe.
He falls to the ground and is immediately attended to by a trainer.
The incident saw Cowboys’ centre Tom Opacic — playing for the Blackhawks — along with teammate Kieran Quabba sin-binned for running in and dishing out their own justice.
Politoni was sent off as his side lost the game 16-10.
The No. 9 last played in the NRL for the Gold Coast Titans.
