## Article

Cogger shouldered Wishart in the head at AAMI Park in Melbourne. Penrith brought Cogger in as the more assured defensive presence they needed and Cogger immediately flies into Wishart in Melbourne like the sure thing they advertised never showed up. Cogger served two weeks already for rushing South Sydney's Ashton Ward. Cogger still comes out of the line the same reckless way. The three-match ban for that grade-two careless high tackle now costs Cogger the first week of finals. Cogger even cops the three-thousand-dollar hip-drop fine on Angus Hinchey during the same game. The Panthers win 22-14 with Cogger contributing two more entries on his report card. Cogger just cannot stay on the field. Cogger's idea of an assured defence is one that keeps writing itself off the park. The opening week of finals now has an empty jumper where Cogger should be.
