Warriors prop Kane Evans is facing scrutiny from the NRL after an obscenity was spotted written on his wrist tape during New Zealand's loss to the Panthers<\/a> on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Evans was sitting on the bench as 18th man when his wrist tape was caught by broadcast cameras showing the phrase "fold some c–t".<\/p>\n

Though he did not play in the game which saw four of his teammates exit through injury, the colourful language on his hand has attracted the attention of the NRL.<\/p>\n

According to the Sydney Morning Herald<\/a>, the NRL has said they will "examine the incident" during their weekly review on Monday.<\/p>\n

\"Kane<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old is expected to receive a sanction for his actions.<\/p>\n

Evans' sanction would be the cherry on top of what was a miserable round 18 for the Warriors after being beaten 30-16 by the Penrith Panthers<\/a> at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.<\/p>\n

A nightmare first half saw four key Warriors players<\/a> – skipper Roger Tuivasa-Sheck (concussion), Tohu Harris (ACL), Wayde Egan (shoulder) and Rocco Berry (hamstring) – all forced off with injury, leaving their interchange bench empty with more than a half of the game to go.<\/p>\n

In 2016 Andrew Fifita was infamously fined $20,000 for a message on his wrist tape in support of Kieran Loveridge who was convicted of coward-punching Thomas Kelly, which led to the implementation of Sydney's lockout laws.<\/p>\n
