Brad Schneider’s tackle that led to a report. \u00a0Nine<\/p>\n

Andrew Johns didn’t shy away in expressing his frustration at the act. <\/p>\n

“Get that tackle out of the game … there’s got to be severe punishment, it is just dangerous, outright dangerous,” he said on Nine.<\/p>\n

Schneider came on late in the game for Mitch Kenny and played at hooker.<\/p>\n

It’s not the only worry with McLean leaving the field in the 65th minute.<\/p>\n

Early in the match he came out of a tackle clutching at his shoulder with Johns saying he was “in all sorts” but McLean played on. The injury late in the match was revealed to be a hip pointer by coach Ivan Cleary.<\/p>\n

“He reckons he’s fine so hopefully he’s all right,” he added.<\/p>\n

Martin departed with seven minutes to go after falling on the ball and clutching at his ribs.<\/p>\n

The second-rower went down the tunnel and looked to be in agony. However, he returned to the bench minutes later, and was observed to be laughing. <\/p>\n

“Marto’s OK, he just got crunched by Kiks (Kikau), I think he was winded more than anything,” Cleary said post-match. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Penrith will nervously monitor the fate of one player with the match review committee and assess injury concern…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":159154,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-159153","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nrl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-national-rugby-league","11":"tag-nationalrugbyleague","12":"tag-nrl","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=159153"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159153\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/159154"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=159153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=159153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=159153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
