MASSIVE CHAOS HITS THE PENRITH PANTHERS!
An unbelievable afternoon drama has rocked the NRL world — Penrith Panthers trainer Corey Bocking
In a moment that left fans and officials stunned, Bocking reportedly stepped out of the trainer’s area during a crucial field-goal attempt by Jayden Campbell — a move the NRL deemed as an illegal interference that disrupted play. The scene sparked outrage across the stadium, with many calling it one of the most bizarre moments in recent league history.
The Panthers have since defended the incident, claiming it was a misunderstanding amid a late-game substitution mix-up. Bocking, visibly shaken after the match, offered an immediate apology, insisting there was no intent to interfere.
However, the fallout has been brutal. Critics are questioning the professionalism within the Panthers’ coaching ranks, while fans worry about the potential long-term damage to the club’s reputation. Even as Penrith secured a tense Golden Point win, the victory now feels tainted by controversy.
Social media exploded within minutes, with supporters and pundits debating whether the result should stand. Some argue that such interference warrants a full game review, while others believe the punishment is already severe enough.
The NRL has given Penrith five days to respond officially to the charges — but one thing is certain: this shocking afternoon incident will haunt the Panthers for the rest of the season, leaving a cloud of chaos hanging over the reigning powerhouse of rugby league.
