'Reckless': Sitili Tupouniua awaits MRC decision after full-time sin-binning

Bulldogs star Sitili Tupouniua will await the decision of the match review committee after he was sin-binned after the final siren against Cronulla.

Right before full-time, Tupouniua raced towards Braydon Trindall and dropped him as he passed with a shoulder charge.

The Bulldogs were penalised as the siren sounded before the referee called out Tupouniua and sin-binned him.
