NRL Reviews Penrith Trainer Interference, Fines Expected

News summary

The Penrith Panthers and their trainer Corey Bocking are facing significant sanctions from the NRL after Bocking ran in front of Titans kicker Jayden Campbell during a crucial conversion attempt late in a match against the Gold Coast Titans. The incident, widely criticized by commentators and fans, resulted in Campbell missing the kick, allowing the Panthers to tie the game and eventually win 30-26 in golden point extra time. The NRL has issued a breach notice proposing a $50,000 fine for the club and a five-match ban for Bocking, citing both the violation of trainer conduct rules and previous breaches by Panthers staff. Both the club and Bocking have apologized, insisting the interference was an honest mistake caused by confusion over a late interchange. The NRL is also reviewing its rules around trainer conduct in light of repeated incidents involving Panthers trainers and others being sanctioned for similar actions this season. The Panthers have five days to formally respond to the breach notice as internal reviews continue.
