Penrith’s protest is rejected after Jack Cole is sin-binned, with the club arguing against the decision. The issue arises during an incident in which Thomas Jenkins is struck in the face by an elbow.
All reports describe the same sequence: Jenkins receives an elbow to the face, Cole is shown a sin bin, and Penrith lodges a protest challenging the outcome. Despite the club’s concerns, the protest does not change the sanction. The accounts focus on the immediate disciplinary decisions rather than providing alternative rulings or revised timings of the incident.
While the coverage aligns on the core facts, the articles mainly differ in emphasis through phrasing—such as how they characterize the protest and the lead-up to the sin bin—rather than presenting conflicting details. Overall, the decision stands and the game continues with Cole serving the sin-bin period.
