Panthers' Win Overshadowed by Controversial Moment

‘Didn’t even mention it once’: Baffling Bunker call under fire... and proof it is ‘hard to justify’

Despite the Panthers securing an impressive victory on Friday night, one controversial moment has sparked significant discussion, even catching the attention of a Penrith legend.

Penrith capitalized on South Sydney's mistakes during a lackluster second half, ultimately achieving a vital 36-14 triumph, even without their Origin stars.

Tom Jenkins excelled with a hat-trick, but controversy surrounded his second try for multiple reasons.

Initially, the Bunker seemed overly focused on the put-down, which was far from convincing; however, a later angle indicated Jenkins may have grounded the ball cleanly.

Notably, the Bunker seemingly overlooked the potential issue of a double movement, a topic that left many NRL legends, including Gregory Alexander of Penrith, wondering why it was not addressed.

Braith Anasta expressed his bewilderment at the Bunker's apparent disregard for the double movement question, as they swiftly moved to the grounding details instead.
