NRL superstar Kalyn Ponga left footy fans in stitches following an awkward slip of the tongue moments after Newcastle's 22-20 defeat on Thursday night.

Speaking on live TV post game to Channel Nine's Danika Mason, the Knights skipper spoke about playing through the pain after suffering a hip injury.

'Were you thinking you might have to come off.... or were you determined to stay on?' Mason asked.

'I was never going to pull myself off,' he replied, matter of factly.

Ponga quickly realised his potential X-rated choice of words, and hilariously added 'that sounds a bit weird' before smiling on camera.
