However, with the England being a certain Mr Wane, maybe he wont pick Knowles just to make sure he misses 5 league games....
It won't matter, there's a reserves round the same weekend as the International and that WILL count for both Knowles and Dudson, and anybody else for that matter whose suspension falls on that weekend I don't agree with it but it's always been the case and I'm sure we will have benefitted in the past, as Joe Westerman did earlier in the season.

Welsby wasn’t being held by 2 other players, Smithies hasn’t been cautioned for it before and he hadn’t ruled a player out of the game for 6 months previously. That’s before we take in to account the 12 month injury caused ‘this time’.
Other than that, it’s pretty much like for like.

When has Knowles been charged for a hip drop tackle before? He may have been but the McGilivray one he certainly wasn't. Watching that video there are three in the tackle and Lussick seems to force Knowles over.
Just find it strange that a tackle that is under such scrutiny for being dangerous can attract a four match difference. Or is it just the injury? If so that seems odd as surely we should punish tackles that risk injury not wait until an injury then punish them more severely.
I'm not saying he didn't deserve a ban, just wonder what the 3/4 match difference between other recent hip drop tackles is all about - it's quite a gap!
