This could go either way. Panthers were unlucky last week and Manly have shown big improvement. Manly at home by 4.
Hate how refs put the whistle away when the game is tight at the end. Offsides and ruck infringements galore. Kills the game. Penrith could've been penalised on each play in a whole set at one point
And yeah, he definitely shouldn't be playing five-eighth next round even if Wallace isn't fit. Unfortunately they named Will Smith 19th man for this game which means he's probably more likely to play than John.. and Smith is also fucking terrible. John's form has been poor this year but they basically have no other legitimate choice other than to back him if Wallace is still out.
Almost anyone is a better choice than those two. Playing down a player is almost better actually. That was a average as hell game, but I can't believe we won after showing we have no clue how to score at all, and our defence was the worst I've seen in a long time early in the game.
