NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA, AUG 6 – Penrith Panthers trainer Corey Bocking faces a five-match ban and club fined $50,000 after breaching conduct rules, with coach Ivan Cleary calling the punishment excessive.
- On Monday, the NRL fined the Penrith Panthers $50,000 and suspended trainer Corey Bocking for five matches, with Cleary calling the sanctions `harsh and a little unfair` and expressing concern for his welfare.
- During Wednesday, Bocking ran from Penrith's huddle and in front of Jayden Campbell during a sideline conversion attempt, causing him to miss the kick that would have put the Titans 28-24 ahead.
- Citing club history, Abdo said the penalties reflect six incidents involving Penrith Panthers trainers since 2021, influencing the severity of Bocking's five-match ban.
- Under his suspension, Corey Bocking cannot enter the sheds, bench or field and faces ostracism, Cleary added, as he `is struggling and has been right from the time it happened`.
- Cleary said Bocking will be excluded from game day duties until week one of the NRL Finals and admitted he never saw the incident but has taken full responsibility.
