The NRL has issued Penrith Panthers with a breach notice relating to the actions of a Club trainer in Round 22.
The breach notice proposes a fine of $50,000 for the Club, as well as a five-match suspension for the trainer involved.
It is alleged the trainer unnecessarily interfered with and distracted Gold Coast Titans player Jayden Campbell as he was attempting a conversion kick, in breach of the NRL Operations Manual and NRL Code of Conduct.
The proposed penalty takes into account previous breaches by Penrith Panthers trainers.
The NRL Rules permitting Club trainers onto the field will be monitored and strictly enforced by the NRL.
The Club will have five days to respond to the breach notice.
