Morgan Knowles receives a 1 match ban for a tackle on Albert Kelly.
A big miss, as he's been brilliant this season - which itself builds on the last couple of seasons. His defence and general 'grubbing it' with the ball in the congested middle is phenomenal. He reminds me a bit of Andy Platt in playing style and toughness, but Knowles has developed more than decent distribution skills.
To think he's only 22!! If he keeps this rate of progression, he's going to be a world class player.
Not the end of the world, on the bright side he gets a weeks rest which he has more than deserved.
Pack now missing three regulars. May have to bring back Douglas this week against the massive Catalan pack.
Is this the one where the ref didn't even see it as a penalty?
What was it actually for? This happened right in line with us and there was literally nothing in it. Kelly got up gripping his chest like he was having a heart attack.
Wasn't it Kelly who had Knowles legs above the vertical in a tackle but never got pinned for it. For the Catalan game Paulo to loose forward perhaps.
Looking back at the highlights of our recent games and only just noticed how involved Knowles has been. He’s been immense. He’s had a hands in plenty tries, taken the ball to the line at first reciever to set up our moves, been supporting when we’ve made breaks and been big in defence. Its easy for these things to go unnoticed, but he’s been brilliant.
screaming in the family corner, scaring the kiddies
He played well starting there against Hull. Seemed to relish a creating role and got two lovely assists. Big chance for him. That's the way the squad seem to be seeing injuries - no fear about who is missing, simply one man's loss is anothers gain in opportunity. Look at Matty Lees last season and then again Monday, he was fantastic and back in top form
After seeing the RFL notes on this I do remember the incident, Knowles tries to twist Kelly while he is on the floor but only has hold of his arm, so only his arm moves and goes behind his back, looked like a chicken wing tackle, deserved his one match and lucky to not get a yellow on the day
Did anyone notice the effort which Knowles (&Roby) put in to get back to cover the Williams try just before half time on Good Friday.
Talk about never giving up - this guy Knowles may turn into a legend along the lines of Chris Joynt.
“With great power comes great responsibility”
So after Monday’s games u Morgan was the only player cited . So there wasn’t one bad tackle in any of the other games . Laughable. What a joke ..
Shenton should have been charged for making the game look an absolute laughing stock.
