“We noticed it in the box (coaching). I will let the LNR manage it.
“I don’t know what they are going to do, but that was perceptible to us, certainly.
“I don’t want to say anymore.
The LNR is now aware of the incident.
Met the ball makes it more slippery and heavier for opponents to manage.
There is no specific rule on the fact that coaches cannot “clean” the ball, but the move has triggered a debate.
Social media platforms, in particular X, have been flooded with reactions to the incident.
“He should be sentenced to a fine and shame. Such a bad sporty spirit, ”posted a fan.
Cowboys coach Todd Payten said that his coach staff had spotted the coach to do so throughout the competition.
“It was not the only time he did,” said another.
“Hopefully a great fine came for Penrith,” said a third.
Payten had a hard time refraining from swearing as he launched a spicy criticism from the officials of the LNR match after the match.
The Cowboys coach says that he will officially complain about the LNR next week, but said on Saturday evening that he will never allow a player to get away with as many mistakes that he thought that the referees are making.
“It’s so frustrating, we want consistency and we don’t get it. I am confused which is a high blow and what is not. I’m sure everyone is, “he said.
“I’m going to talk to the LNR throughout the week, go through the good channels, but it’s just a white noise. “Yeah, we were wrong”. But no one is held responsible for it.
“If it is my player who makes a mistake after an error or a few howlers, then there is a good chance that he is not in the team.”
Payten took a specific problem with the Cowboys Murray Tulagi winger being penalized for a high shot on Liam Henry, who slipped into contact.
The Panthers marked the whole that followed.
Payten was rooted that the Cowboys Center Viliami Vailea did not receive a penalty a few minutes later after being flattened by Tom Jenkins in defense of coverage.
The collision has left Vailea extended on the ground of pain.
“Murray Tulagi obtained a penalty where a guy fell into his chest, then Viliami Vailea, less than five minutes later, took off,” said Payten.
“It was right before judge Touch and there was no call there. It was bad. There was also a type of flop on the 40 -meter line. Later and it would have been tomorrow.
