I dunno yet. I think it'll depend on the severity of the injury to Johns.

Guess so. I just saw it on replay....nothing in it really, didn't look too malicious

Hardly, i dont think Penrith would have scored against an under 6 side tbh... They were ordinary and are my fav's for the spoon....

Bit harsh on SBW for me, I've seen plenty worse then that not get sent... I reckon it was the Johns/In Newcastle factor that seen him sent....

Hmmmm quite funny, from all the reports i've read & heard last night & this morning many are calling the Penrith/Sharks game better than the Storm/Tigers.

Well they're wrong. The Penrith defence was diaobolical. All 3 tries from the sharks were ridiculously soft.

That was an awesome game. Great win to the Knights though I'd have given that no-try to Hickey.

Yeah i dont think he should have been sent off, the injury made the tackle seem worse then it was i think.

Don't think SBW should have been sent off, i seriously doubt if it was against any other player he would have been. As Blaze pointed out he was falling into it, if he wasn't he would have hit on the chest. But with the fuss the Sydney media will make about it he will get atleast a month off.

Yes, quality post and I agree.

SBW only got sent off because Archer saw how badly Johns was injured.
I rate Archer as a ref, but he proved how mentally weak he is out there today. He let the situation surrounding the tackle cloud his judgement.
Seriously, you see tackles contact with the neck/check every weekend go unpunished..
The more I look at the tackle, the more I am convinced that the send off was a farce.

Just got back from that game about 30 minutes ago, and no way should Preston Campbell play fullback in 1st grade, when they play Melbourne and any bombs go his way (which they will) and Matt King is there, he will be King's bitch all night long. Not sure about Lelea Paea is ready for 1st grade either. TBH, even though it won't happen I would drop Campbell to QLD Cup next week, butchered two potential tries by throwing a pass that never needed to be thrown, dropped a pass that ruined a good attacking move (ok tbf it was a poor pass by Bailey), and dropped a catch from a bomb that most 1st grade fullbacks would take.
It was a good game though, 42,000 plus fans at the game. And I shouled my great ruby league knowledge by getting rid of Chris Walker for Michael Gordon

Thanks Craigos. Was a quality pick-up. They even removed his goalkicking position for me tooJust got back from that game about 30 minutes ago, and no way should Preston Campbell play fullback in 1st grade, when they play Melbourne and any bombs go his way (which they will) and Matt King is there, he will be King's bitch all night long.

You could easily drop Rogers to fullback then play Hilder in the centres. He's never played there but he impressed me alot a tfive eighth and his defence is certainly very impressive. He's not the fastest but he has enough pace to do it IMO. Paea didn't impressive me either and I'm not sure how he keeps Peterson out. But Rogers at Fullback, Peterson and Walker wingers, Hilder and Webster in the centres and the halves of Prince and Campbell would be the best combination I think.
