How does he get 2 weeks but no penalty awarded to Newcastle?

Their fans have every right to feel hard done by

Well they can't retroactively award a penalty and he only gets 1 week for the hit, the 2nd week is due to loading.

You raise somewhat of an interesting point though. If they penalise him there may well not have been a charge.

Because Ben Cummins is a genius who did his very best to keep the Roosters in the game last night. The hit on Ponga, Teddy taking the quick tap off the mark, the penalty for offside when SKD intercepted the ball, the thousand penalties on the knights line....

Clearly in his brain it just didn't compute that the defending premiers could get spanked so hard by the team that has won 3 of the last 4 wooden spoons

If Cummins had reffed the game properly, chances are the Roosters would have been held to nil

Did he hit him high? Didnt look like it to me. Penalty for slightly late hit, pat on the back for great hard hit, move on. Looks like we have a new protected species, the Ponga.
Not really a new species. He’s in the “QLD Origin spine future immortal spine player” category.

Maybe a subspecies.

I look forward to the judiciary case. How does one define a “late” hit in league? We’re about to find out I’d say.
