Panthers trainer banned and club fined $50,000 by NRL for controversial blunder

• Penrith insist Corey Bocking made 'honest mistake' against Titans

• Trainer ran in front of Jayden Campbell during kick preparations

Penrith Panthers have defended the actions of trainer Corey Bocking after the NRL proposed huge penalties for a controversial incident at the climax of Saturday's clash against the Gold Coast.

Bocking ran in front of Titans halfback Jayden Campbell during the kicker's preparations for a conversion attempt which would have made the Titans' lead four points with less than seven minutes to go.
