The Penrith Panthers have been fined $50,000 and will be without one of their trainers for the rest of the NRL regular season after an incident in their game with Gold Coast at the weekend.
Panthers trainer Corey Bocking ran in front of Titans halfback Jayden Campbell as he was about to take a kick at goal.
Campbell missed the shot.
Penrith eventually won the game 30-26.
The NRL hit Penrith with a breach notice that factored in the four-time reigning premiers' previous trainer misconduct.
Bocking will be suspended for the Panthers' last five games of the regular season, with the club also needing to pay $50,000 - five times the financial penalty of their previous breach.
In a statement the NRL said it is alleged the trainer unnecessarily interfered with and distracted Gold Coast Titans player Jayden Campbell as he was attempting a conversion kick, in breach of the NRL Operations Manual and NRL Code of Conduct.
The NRL Rules permitting club trainers onto the field will be monitored and strictly enforced by the NRL.
The club will have five days to respond to the breach notice.

The man, aged in his 50s, appeared in the Christchurch District Court on Thursday afternoon on five charges relating to the possession and exportation of child exploitation material. The charges were brought by Customs earlier this year.

Dog eats All Blacks rookie's passport
Leroy Carter. Photo: Jeremy Ward/Photosport Leroy Carter's dream All Blacks call-up nearly turned sour when he discovered his passport had been chewed up by his dog days before leaving for Argentina. Utility back Carter, named among the injury replacements in Scott Robertson's Rugby Championship squad, found his passport ruined on his bed and had to scramble to arrange a new one. "I got my passport out to take a photo to send to the (team) manager and I just left it on my bedside table," the 26-year-old told media. "My partner went to the gym and left my dog home alone and it's gone down the hallway, jumped on the bed and just chewed up the passport and my teeth aligners. "It was a bit of a shambles yesterday. I was trying to get an emergency one but I think it's all sussed (sorted) now. "I thought it would happen to me, something like that, so no point getting stressed about it, just trying to sort it out." Most of the All Blacks squad will fly out on Friday for Argentina where they play their Rugby Championship opener against the Pumas in Cordoba next week. Carter, who represented New Zealand in rugby sevens at the Paris Olympics and won a bronze with the squad at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, earned his first All Blacks call-up after his debut season with the Chiefs in Super Rugby. Carter said he was out for breakfast with his partner and some of his teammates from provincial side Bay of Plenty when Robertson called to confirm his selection on Monday. "I got an unknown-number call. I guess I thought if there was a day to answer those it was probably (that day) and he just said congratulations," said Carter. "I honestly can't really remember what else he said after that. I was pretty emotional and pretty stoked to get a phone call like that. "All the boys were pretty pumped but I was still in a bit of a shock." - Reuters Sign up for Ngā Pitopito Kōrero , a daily newsletter curated by our editors and delivered straight to your inbox every weekday.
