OT: Fireworks banned after incident in Sharks/Panthers game

[Frenzy.]

NRL issues fiery ban notice to all clubs after smokey debacle​

Cheating Panther qhunts. I called that in the game thread last week

While many games have been delayed, or started in smokey conditions, it was a game in Cronulla between the Sharks and Panthers last weekend which brought the issue to a head and forced action, with Sharks' fullback Will Kennedy unable to see the ball.

In rather comical circumstances, the wind blew the smoke from the fireworks straight down the middle of the ground to the area where Penrith would kick-off into.


Ashley Klein - who refereed the contest - originally delayed the start, but once the smoke had cleared the 40-metre line, allowed the game to commence.

The smoke hadn't cleared the rest of the field however, and the Sharks were lucky to get away without an error to commence the contest.

should never have been allowed to kick off until it cleared.
