Immortal Andrew Johns has ripped the Brisbane Broncos' failure to play their role after a horror first try for the Panthers.
Off an Adam Reynolds short drop out, Herbie Farnworth batted the ball back as it went past the 10 metre line, however an awkward bounce in space between his teammates led to Panthers hooker Mitch Kenny scoring the first try of the night as he loitered behind the play.
Johns was highly critical of the Broncos' application in setting up for the set play.

"Someone's missed their assignment there, they practice these set moves, short drop outs … everyone's got a job to do on these short drop outs, whether you're in front of the ball or you're knocking the ball back or you're picking up the crumbs from behind," he said on Nine's coverage.
"Someone missed their assignment there, that was a big boo boo."
While the Newcastle Knights legend was critical, Maroons coach Billy Slater gave full credit to Kenny's anticipation of the error.
"This is being on top of your game, Mitch Kenny, everyone knows their role in this Panthers team," he said.
