Penrith Panthers forward Thomas Jenkins was sent to the sin-bin for a deliberate foul as his side clung on to beat the Parramatta Eels in a tight finish on July 23, 2026.
Jenkins’ foul caused two separate sin-binning incidents during the match, coming up in both half.
Panthers coach Ivan Cleary later made light of the confusion, dropping in a note about the global tournament during the full-time comments.
The side overcame the ill-discipline to claim a late fightback win, with Jenkins’ rap sheet added under strange circumstances.
