St George Illawarra prop Blake Lawrie has been sent to the sin bin after being penalised for a shoulder charge on Dylan Walker, casting a shadow over what is understood to be his final appearance for the Dragons.
The incident saw the match officials act swiftly, ruling that Lawrie's hit on Walker was illegal under the shoulder charge rules that have been strictly enforced across the NRL in recent seasons.
Lawrie's dismissal to the sin bin left the Dragons short-handed at a critical moment, adding further significance to an already emotional occasion given it is reported to be his last outing in the club's colours.
