I am sure the actual details will come out to not speculate. Lower grades don't have cameras and microphones and stuff too.

No doubt they are told to steer clear of that or just lost concentration
Ivan said he cancelled a substitution, and the trainer was rushing to ensure the message of the cancellation went through in time. Hence the incorrect route.

Calls others imbeciles but not smart enough to see the difference between the b2b2b2b premiers and a team struggling for every win they can get.

for me personally i was coming off super frustration over the second half performance.
Apples for apples incident. One gets minimal uproar, the other gets massive uproar.

I’m not defending the trainer, far from it. But what’s the difference? Simply pointing facts out, undeniable tangible facts. League fans for the most part have shocking memories at the best of times. It’s the whole week to week, round to round, in the moment element I think.

Maybe you’re the one not smart enough to understand context. I’ll leave that to you to figure out bud. However, I’m a staunch Panther defender at the best of times and in this run there aren’t many non-Panthers fans who can say that. All I’m doing is pointing out a fact, or facts if you count the twin incidents.

Meh. f**k em. It shouldn't matter where you are on the table. An infringement should always be adjudicated the same. We're in dangerous waters if we ever start taking anything else into account.

Yeah we're talking about public perception. If the nrl are using our comments to determine punishment I'd be worried

A trainer indiscretion has completely overshadowed,

1 successful captains challenge
1 no try overturned by the bunker
1 lost captains challenge in 50/50 circumstances
1 sin binning for tackling a player a nano second before he caught the ball, yes he caught the ball
An 8 - 2 penalty count

Do people not see any bias here?

Nearly every penalty was "subjective" so it was obvious the "leg up" was being applied.

Yeah, yeah, it's real easy to blame the ref, but I could have sworn it was a male Belinda Sharpe out there yesterday. Haters...

Personally I feel like it was probably deliberate, who tf cares tho. Campbell had a chance to reset and kick, he f**ken missed. If he wants to blame the trainer it just means he’s easily rattled.

As far as the media beat up and any potential punishments, again who cares. I’m sure ivan or the players aren’t worried about it. I knew as soon as it happens there would be a big overreaction for a day or two.

Nothing can happen in a panthers game without a crazy overreaction.

Munky is once again spot on. That act was absolutely intentional. He even took a step towards Campbell on that run.

EVEN if it was an accident, it is the sort of act that should have been penalised with a kick in front. It is not upto Campbell to refocus, it is up to the trainer to pick some land to run in to not affect any part of play.

Great effort by your boys to come up with plays when the chips were very down.
Maybe they'll change the rules then.

Difference between a 75% kicker and an 85% kicker. Nathan had an object thrown at him in Vegas while lining up a kick from the sideline. Removed it, lined up the kick and put it through.
