According to an NRL article it states that both Junior Paulo and Peni Terepo are playing this week against the Bulldogs. Is this correct? (See Quote below)
"Junior Paulo and Peni Terepo returns to the side, while Jaeman Salmon comes onto the bench for Will Smith."

Panthers are the new grubs of the NRL.
It's only ten in the bin if the ref believes it is unlikely that the injured player is going to return, and even then it isn't necessarily an sin binning. It leaves it up to the referee's discretion, which it should.
Wrong again Brett the rule states if a player is is hit in a high tackle and I forced from the field the offending player is to be put in the bin .how in hell Would the ref be put in the position to make call to know if a player is going to be able to return to the field or not those discission are made by the medical staff not the referee
As I've read the rule, it is discretionary.
Obviously the referee would only make that call if it was blatantly obvious that the injured wasn't likely to be back, like the Isaiah Yeo, the guy was on Mars, it was obvious to everyone he wasn't coming back.
And
I noticed that too. Odd but not unexpected unfortunately.
Unless there is more to this surely Terepo would be playing next week.
Nitram I agree. Moga has been given 2 weeks for common assault
Did anyone see if Peni was sitting with the other unavailable players yesterday?
