And the opposition score, two of their players come over with pushing, we\u2019re standing in the dead ball area, two guys come over pushing and shoving and shaping up. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know what our blokes are supposed to do, so I just can\u2019t understand those sin-binnings at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MORE NRL NEWS<\/p>\n<p>\u2018BUNCH OF INDIVIDUALS\u2019: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com.au\/nrl\/nrl-premiership\/nrl-2025-knights-press-conference-dane-gagai-what-did-he-say-panthers-defeat-knights-adam-obrien-will-he-be-sacked-rugby-league-news\/news-story\/f57ee70182013be5a3832d6c2c8aab0e\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">What was said in Knights scene as FT bake laid bare<\/a><\/p>\n<p>PANTHERS-KNIGHTS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com.au\/nrl\/nrl-premiership\/nrl-2025-newcastle-knights-v-penrith-panthers-teams-isaah-yeo-out-start-time-live-blog-where-to-watch-ladder-rugby-league-news\/news-story\/11df6cd884356e89a7bf7f3b5148cc04\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Penrith redemption gets scarier; ugly Newcastle flop<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2018VISIBLY UPSET\u2019: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com.au\/nrl\/nrl-premiership\/nrl-2025-panthers-trainer-apologises-to-jayden-campbell-corey-bocking-penrith-trainer-controversy-news-videos-highlights\/news-story\/5a02f117cc84b4680a5928c52678b39f\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">What trainer said to Titans star in NRL stunner<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Kristian Woolf and Trent Robinson.Source: FOX SPORTS<\/p>\n<p>Woolf wasn\u2019t making excuses for his side\u2019s horror performance, but maintained the sin-binnings didn\u2019t make sense. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo we have to allow ourselves to get punched to not get sin-binned?\u201d Woolf said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd there\u2019s a man standing in front of you with his hands up shaping up.

They\u2019ve just scored and they\u2019re coming past and giving our boys a mouthful. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then I just don\u2019t see what our boys are meant to do, they are not going to stand there and just cop it. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd when someone\u2019s being like that, you\u2019ve got to stand up for yourself, we\u2019re not going to let other teams stand over us and that\u2019s something that we pride ourselves on.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Flanno takes issue with bunker decisions | 06:28<\/p>\n<p>Roosters coach Robinson believes it was harsh to send four players to the sin bin when nothing really happened and felt one from each side might have been sufficient. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was obviously the incident just before that happened and then as soon as they put a warning out, you knew that it was all a fair bit of hot air after the try,\u201d Robinson said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot much happened. It was just a bit of push and shove. But the warning 30 seconds before, probably, I think obviously that pushed him into sending, but four off was a lot. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt seemed like possibly one from each side would have been enough because nothing really happened. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut anyway, it was Warren Ryan\u2019s 11 vs 11, so we got to see 10 minutes of that and see how it went.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kristian Woolf was dumbfounded why two of his players were sin-binned after responding to a heated confrontation forged&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":55321,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,85,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-55320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-sports","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55320","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55320"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55320\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55321"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
