The Penrith Panthers have been slapped with a $50,000 fine and a five-match suspension for trainer Corey Bocking after he was found to have disrupted a potential game-winning kick during the golden point thriller against the Melbourne Storm.
But that’s not all—new footage has surfaced showing a second trainer on the field during the crucial play, igniting fresh outrage across the league and sparking claims of double standards in NRL officiating.
Despite the drama, Panthers fans are standing tall behind their team. Social media has lit up with support for the boys in black, praising their composure, fight, and refusal to be rattled by controversy.
As the noise around the ruling grows louder, so does the Panthers’ resolve to turn adversity into fuel for the rest of the season.
