The South Sydney Rabbitohs have been allowed to bring a player from outside of their 21-man crew in front of Saturday evening’s passing last against the Penrith Panthers. Winger Taane Milne was not named in South Sydney’s crew on Tuesday, however his name showed up in the authority group list on Friday evening.

As per AAP, the 26-year-old was precluded from the side unintentionally following a correspondence breakdown.

The pre-last curve comes after an emotional conflict of words ejected between the two clubs on Friday. Jaguar mentor Nathan Cleary said on Friday the disproportionate punishment include in the sides’ last conflict (11-2 in support of Penrith) was proof not of preference from the match authorities but rather imprudent Rabbitohs guard.

“You can just go off the proof,” Cleary told columnists.

“They’re parting with a lot of punishments and their discipline hasn’t been the place where it should have been.

“That represents itself with no issue, I think.”

The mentor’s remarks came only hours after his Souths partner Wayne Bennett blamed Penrith for running “illicit” kick-pursue blocks in the sides’ cycle 23 gathering. Bennett guaranteed the strategy, supposedly intended to ensure playmaker Nathan Cleary, had gotten away from the ref’s notification.

“They are not going on a kick pursue. They are moving sideways, in reverse and they are connecting with shoulders and hands,” Bennett said.

“Most importantly we haven’t had the option to get close to Nathan and his kicks on the grounds that our kick chasers are impeded by unlawful blockers.”

The champ of Saturday evening’s conflict progress straight through to the fundamental last, while the washout should take on either the Parramatta Eels or Newcastle Knights in a semi-last one weekend from now.
