The NRL has come down hard on Penrith and a trainer that caused a controversial stoppage during the epic semi-final win over Parramatta<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Eels were livid when the Panthers trainer stopped the game<\/a> in the final minutes to attend to Mitch Kenny, who had injured his ankle in back play.<\/p>\n

Under the rules, a trainer is not allowed to tell a referee to stop play until he has completed an on-field assessment of the injured player.<\/p>\n

The trainer instructed referee Ashley Klein to stop play before he had even made it to Kenny, who was lying on the ground.<\/p>\n

The NRL today announced the trainer in question has been suspended for the remainder of the season, and the club has been fined $25,000.<\/p>\n

The same trainer had been involved in a similar incident earlier in the year.<\/p>\n

"The breach notice alleges the club's orange trainer stopped play incorrectly in the 76th<\/sup> minute of Saturday night's NRL final against the Parramatta Eels," an NRL statement said.<\/p>\n

"The manual makes it clear that a head trainer can only stop play after making an initial assessment that circumstances require a doctor to enter the field of play.<\/p>\n

"The NRL has also issued a warning to the club's blue trainer for his role in the stoppage.<\/p>\n

The Panthers have five days to respond to the breach notice.<\/p>\n

They are set to take on Melbourne in Saturday afternoon's preliminary final<\/a>.<\/p>\n
