Souths Captain Cody Walker Apologises After Kicking Opponent
Walker apologised after the 11th-minute kick sparked an all-in melee and left South Sydney facing a possible NRL review.
- On Friday at CommBank Stadium, South Sydney five-eighth Cody Walker was sin-binned for kicking Penrith halfback Jack Cogger during the Rabbitohs' 36-14 loss to the Panthers.
- The Match Review Committee handed Walker a one-match suspension on Saturday for a Grade 2 Contrary Conduct charge, upgradeable to two matches if he unsuccessfully appeals.
- Walker apologized to Cogger after the match, admitting in Friday's post-game press conference that "I let my teammates down" and "I've just got to be better in those moments."
- Braith Anasta described the kick as a "brain explosion," while Greg Alexander noted Walker's "short fuse has been there forever" but appeared worse this season.
- Penrith winger Tom Jenkins scored a hat-trick to lead the Panthers to victory, moving closer to breaking a 91-year record for most tries in a single season.
