Penrith Panthers has today received a breach notice from the NRL in relation to the actions of a club trainer during the Round 22 match.
The club has five days to respond to the breach notice.
The club is adamant that the actions of the trainer were an honest mistake and there was no intent to breach the rules or gain an advantage. The trainer immediately apologised upon realising the error.
The circumstances involved a late change and in-the-moment confusion, but we understand that does not excuse the outcome.
The club will not make any further comment on the matter at this time.
