    Wykes Plank fallout?

    I was at the game so didn't see or hear the TV commentary, but what did the commentators make of Sammy's plank after his try?

    I would have thought that a high profile plank like this one may have set off all the wowsers and doo gooders, considering all the planking news happening this week on seemingly every news format... but I haven't seen anything about it in the match reports?

    Or am I mistaken in thinking that the WA media actually knew there was a game of rugby on last night?

    Nah..........just that he was beaten to it by a Mungo.

    Actually, it turns out that The Wolfman is a right planker. Seems he loves planking all over the place. What a strange person.

    Great to see Shasta the mungophile all over the mungo planking scene. Job well done old boy

    Wykes didn't plank properly. The arms were a bit floppy. Great to see the mop running freely in the backline though. I hope the backs had a look at what hitting a gap, stepping, accelerating and taking on the defence looks like.

    The lad knows where the camera is as well. Gotta love the hair and hair band planking on the wide screen.

    I preferred the days when forwards smashed each other and got in fights

    Dead set the game is soft as sh1t now

    The field is rectangle. Planking is safer on round fields

    He was a monte for the man of the match after that display of skill, dexterity and courage.

    Sounds like you've become a bit of a fan of Wykes... there was a time when you thought he would only be useful if you used his head as a spong to wash your car.

    Had one East Perth player and one Perth player look like they were planking next to each other at the same time today. In fact, they had just collided with each other and fallen over, but why let facts get in the way?

    He would have been way more original if he'd done Sneaky Nuts.
