The Sydney Roosters have lodged a formal complaint with NRL ground management, raising concerns that a Panthers legend was spotted coaching players from the sidelines during a recent match.According to the Roosters, the individual was actively giving instructions to Penrith players, which they argue breaches game-day protocols. One of the players reportedly receiving guidance was young winger Tom Jenkins, who has been making strides in the Panthers’ lineup.
The incident has sparked debate about the boundaries of sideline involvement and whether former greats should be allowed to influence play during matches. The NRL is expected to review the complaint and determine if any action will be taken.
