Kalyn Ponga will be sent for scans on a foot injury after failing to finish Newcastle's disappointing 22-18 loss to the Canberra Raiders.

Ponga left Friday night's game after an innocuous tackle midway through the second half, in what could also be a potential blow for Queensland with the State of Origin decider at Accor Stadium less than two weeks away,

Newcastle coach Adam O'Brien confirmed that the injury was not to the same foot as the one which forced Ponga to miss seven games last season.
