Kalyn Ponga has been cleared of a serious injury but the Queensland fullback is set to be on light duties in the lead-up to the second State of Origin after hurting his neck.
Ponga was in the thick of the action as his Newcastle side fell 32-30 to Melbourne in a pulsating battle at AAMI Park on Friday night.
The 28-year-old had 17 runs for 150 metres but also threw a wild pass that led to Melbourne scoring.
