Panthers' season from hell gets worse as enforcer Liam Henry banned for nasty crusher tackle
Panthers enforcer Liam Henry has been slapped with a two-game ban after being sin-binned and placed on report for a crusher tackle on Knights fullback Fletcher Sharpe. In the 22nd minute with the Knights leading 18-0 in Bathurst, Henry appeared to lift Sharpe up in a tackle and push down on the back of his neck, which drew a penalty.

After intervention from the Bunker, referee Belinda Sharpe called Henry out for further punishment. 'You have got a grip you lift him up and then you put pressure down,' referee Sharpe said. 'It is on report and it's in the bin.' Commentsator Andrew Voss had no issue with the decision due to the NRL's tough stance on crusher tackles. 'That's the tackle that we are trying to stamp out,' Voss said. 'If there is any sort of re-grip or second motion if you will. 'Liam Henry finds himself in the bin and Sharpe goes off the field for Newcastle.' Off the ensuing set, Dylan Lucas scored a try to make it a hat-trick for the star back-rower and give the Knights a commanding 24-0 lead. Henry will be rubbed out for two matches should he take the early guilty plea.

Ban to stretch Cronulla's backline even further
Ronaldo Mulitalo has added to Cronulla's backline issues, with the winger facing a one-match ban for his late shot that levelled Mark Nawaqanitawase. Mulitalo was on Sunday hit with a grade-two dangerous contact charge for hitting Nawaqanitawase after he passed in the Sydney Roosters' win on Saturday. If the Sharks were to fight the matter at the NRL judiciary, Mulitalo would risk a second game on the sideline. Watch all the highlights as the Roosters take on the Sharks in Round 12!#NRLRoostersSharks — NRL (@NRL) May 24, 2025 Cronulla have already faced depth issues in their outside backs this year, after Sione Katoa required shoulder surgery after an injury in a pre-season trial. Sam Stonestreet is also out with an ankle injury, after sustaining damage to his syndesmosis against Melbourne last week. Cronulla are hopeful of Katoa returning after next week's bye, otherwise Mulitalo's ban would leave the Sharks without both first-choice wingers against the Warriors. In that case, Chris Vae'ila would be the front-runner to debut for the Sharks. Mulitalo was sin-binned for the shot on Saturday night, with referee Grant Atkins identifying direct shoulder contact to the head after Nawaqanitawase passed. But the match review committee on Sunday deemed it to be dangerous contact and not a shoulder charge, which would have resulted in an extra game out. Penrith forward Liam Henry is also facing a two-match ban out of Saturday night's games, in trouble for a crusher tackle on Fletcher Sharpe in the loss to Newcastle. The review committee on Sunday opted for a grade-two charge, meaning Henry would risk a third match on the sideline if he elects to fight the ban. The last-placed Panthers at least expect to have their entire State of Origin cohort back for those games, provided the quintet get through game one unscathed. Backrower Scott Sorensen is also due back from a suspension against Parramatta next Sunday, while Luke Garner should be able to return from a concussion.
