Latrell Mitchell and Josh Addo-Carr have both been fined $50,000 for breaching self-isolation protocols.

Tyronne Roberts-Davis and Nathan Cleary have both been fined $10,000.

All four players have been also been given a one-match ban, which has been suspended for the remainder of the season, after the NRL announced they had bought the game into disrepute.

Sixty per cent of the fines have also been suspended for the remainder of the season.

The NRL announced the players had each shown a blatant disregard for public health orders, guidelines and advice and in doing so have brought significant reputational damage to the sport.

The penalties allege that each player has brought the game into disrepute and do not pass judgment on any ongoing police investigations.

Australian Rugby League Commission chairman Peter V’landys said "the players have a responsibility to the game and community".


"It is important that, in these challenging times, we all have to work together to combat COVID-19 and compliance with public health orders is a critical requirement,’" he said.

"The players have to understand that they are putting the game and the community at risk by their actions.

"It’s certainly hard to accept such behaviour when the game is doing everything it can to persuade the community that its players are responsible and behave appropriately.

"The penalties have been structured so as to give these players one further opportunity to demonstrate that they can be trusted. If they contravene again, then those parts of the penalty that have been suspended will be activated and they may also be subject to further sanction."

NRL acting CEO Andrew Abdo said the game acted quickly to send a clear message to all players and the wider community.

"It's not the circumstances I'd expect to do my first press conference. The actions of our players that have come to light over the past couple of days has been disappointing and we have decided we needed to act swiftly," he said.

"This is on all of us and our players are no different, it's important the players know they are held to a higher account. I think we've got to look at this in two phases. The players are not in the care of the clubs, they've been stood down and are in the hands of the public health order.

"As we enter into the training period and the second phase the protocols are significantly higher. We are all humans, humans make mistakes and there are consequences for those mistakes."

In explaining why Mitchell and Addo-Carr received harsher sanctions, Abdo said each matter needed "to be handled on individual merits".

"What's happened with Latrell and Josh is they've gone on a planned holiday. That's very different to someone being at home. It's a very different context," he said.

"I'm not going to make a comment around what's appropriate from a cultural perspective. This has nothing to do with culture or race.

"I have multiple concerns and as you can imagine I am focused on a number of things. We are working day and night to get the competition back up and running. Any setback is a setback for the game.

"We take this matter very seriously. I know a lot of our players are doing the right thing and if they're not they'll face sanctions.

"The match ban gives them an opportunity to think about their actions going forward and give the playing group an idea of what's at stake here.


"There's a very detailed set of protocols that are with the clubs that are yet to be finalised. We'll talk about that when the time is right."

Abdo, in the statement issued by the governing body, said NRL players must set the standards for the public to follow.

"The sanctions proposed today are stronger than fines which can be imposed by authorities because we hold our players to a higher standard and they must set a higher standard for the community,’" he said.

"We are focused on resuming the competition on May 28, something our fans and stakeholders are excited about. Players who do not comply with community and NRL protocols will face sanction."

All four players will have five days to respond to the breach notices before a final determination is made.

"We've done what we think is fair in the actions. Upon reflection I think this will affect the players," Abdo said in his media conference.

"We've reached out to all the players, they have the opportunity to respond, they have five days and we will engage with them and take it from there.

"It's an absolute privilege to be servicing the game. I don't think I could have come up with a scenario we're in with a global pandemic. I'm going to work tirelessly in the day and night to do what we can."

My fault, I couldn't link the article in my first post as I was out of the house on my phone. Sorry mate.

 

[Hangonaminute]

Does it concern anyone that a state of origin player is hanging around young teenage girls?

They look like his little sisters friends, not a great look.

 

[BZN]

Chances of the league actually starting on the 28th?
What are the bets?

Slim?
Slim to none?
No chance?
Zero?
4.2%

I just don’t get the date thing. NRL are like a bull at the gate with the attitude about this.
it won’t be NRL that make the final decision but they are really acting like they are the only ones with that starting flag.

School Children back to school May 11..

Schools never closed.

Most school chose to...mine did 2 weeks before holidays started

Public schools didn’t

My son's school did and won't re-open anytime soon.

In NSW?

Yep, he'll be home schooled from next Monday again because the teachers unanimously downed tools and are teaching from home.

Umm...excuse me? The "teachers unanimoulsy downed tools ..." That's utter rubbish.

The NSW govt decided that schools would only remain open for students "at risk" or "children of parents in essential services" for the last weeks of Term 1, and that same edict will apply for the commencement of Term 2.

I can only assume you are referring to a private or systemic school, as opposed to a public school?

No, I'm familiar what school my son attends.

It's great that you are "familiar" with the school that your son attends. That would be the least we would expect.

It's another thing altogether to infer that teachers at a school had unilaterally decided that they would "down tools" to keep kids in home schooling. Perhaps, the school in question is enforcing NSW govt and DoE policy?

I didn't infer anything, simply stated what my son's school has implemented. Not my fault if you don't like it.

In my day I would have been happy if they downed tools ...me and the cane knew each other far too well

I generally tried to do the right thing at high school @happy_tiger so I was seldom in trouble.
But I am still deeply troubled and angry with the way the cane was dished out by certain teachers who believed in teaching by fear.
They were nothing but mongrel dogs, and my hope is that they all went to hell and are receiving the same punishment they so willingly dispensed.
To this day I have a psychological fear of most people and insecurity generally, mainly caused by my father deserting my Mother and my 2 elder brothers soon after I was born. Those mongrel dog teachers only reinforced that fear and insecurity.

Doesn't matter who is in charge they are all pussies and all roll over for the top clubs

What more can you say really

 

[Hangonaminute]

Didn't explain why the non high profile player didn't get the same fine as the Carr and Mitchell

 

[happy_tiger]

Fans get fined 10 k for running out on the field ......

The game just doesn't get it and doesn't care ...I hope the Govt now says No to the NRL now

 

[cochise]

Didn't explain why the non high profile player didn't get the same fine as the Carr and Mitchell

He apparently wasn't at the camp and just ran into them while out riding.

 

[Trevros]

At the very least they should have been canned for the rest of the season. The league is as weak as piss.

 

[JD Tiger]

I hope our boys are doing the right thing. If a Wests Tiger player now gets in trouble, I can just see the NRL say "Okay, Now we will come down heavy because you just aren't getting it" and suspending him for the season.

 

[BZN]

Allegedly JAC and Latrell have been naughty boys

http://www.msn.com/en-au/sport/rugby-league/nrl-superstars-busted-camping-amid-shutdown/ar-BB13eA4q?li=AAgfYrC&ocid=ientp

Hardly suprising LM in particular seems about as smart as a lamp post with JAC not far behind

So glad we didn't sign the million dollar lamp post

And for a million$$$ @TillLindemann he would be expected to be the 'shining light' in the team.

 

[happy_tiger]

And they still have the right to earn it all back at rep time ......

 

[gallagher]

Fans get fined 10 k for running out on the field ......

The game just doesn't get it and doesn't care ...I hope the Govt now says No to the NRL now

A ha!! I knew it!!! lol

And they should tearing the walls down at the NRL's reaction /lettuce leave flogging

How many of us have elderly relatives we can't see .....

[diedpretty]

If you were a NRL player right now, what would you say to these morons if you had the chance?

They're literally putting every NRL players career in jeopardy.
How can the NRL be taken seriously about sticking to the guidelines in order to get the game started again after seeing these two clowns?

I agree with Gould, sack them

Perhaps they don't feel the rules should apply to them...and the mental health of they bros and culture were more important

These indigenous players are always harping on about respect, yet they show none of it when the TV cameras aren't on them.

They're either incredible dumb or they just don't care, I'm leaning towards the latter, and if that's the case they need to go.

A responsible player would have told someone beforehand what was going on ......if what we are hearing is true , family comes 1st .....I know if family member told me they needed help even at these times I'd drop everything ...but I would tell everyone 1st what I was doing

If you take these actions ...you wear the responsibility of these actions

You don't then hide behind your religion ,race , marital status or sex

It was mentioned his family was doing it tough but they were in Sydney. JAC was born in Sydney - he has no ties to Taree or the Biripi people. Just pulls the culture card when he is caught out. And since when has riding motorbikes on beaches been part of Aboriginal culture.
