NRL hands out hefty fines to players for breaking coronavirus restrictions

The NRL has issued four players with breach notices for bringing the game into disrepute by disregarding public health orders.

South Sydney's Latrell Mitchell and Melbourne's Josh Addo-Carr have each been handed $50,000 fines, with 60 per cent of that suspended until the end of the season. Penrith player Nathan Cleary and Newcastle's Tyronne Roberts-Davis have been issued with $10,000, with 60 per cent of those also suspended.Acting CEO of the NRL Andrew Abdo said the penalties have been structured in a way to give the players a chance to demonstrate they can abide by the safety measures moving forward.Mitchell, Addo-Carr and Roberts-Davis were yesterday fined 1,000 by NSW Police after images emerged of them on a weekend away with about 10 other men.

Meanwhile, NSW Police has said it is looking into reports that Nathan Cleary broke social-distancing rules on Anzac Day. Socia media photos have emerged of him in close contact with a group of several women, reportedly taken at his home on Saturday.More to come.

The dude in the middle is out of uniform. No black beanie! I thought this was about reporting real news issues....

NRL needs to do extensive education of its players. eg If they spell Car.owner.virus incorrectly...your out...back to school...learn how to wread and right.

Oh! what a surprise. A mob of prats who play with balls and get paid way too much to do so thinking the rules don't apply to them. Hah! Over privileged arses the lot of them.

The order is enforced, but was it worth it?

No to fining healthy people, it does not make sense, if virus infected/carrier yes. Potential to commit a crime is now a crime, state govn authoratism gone mad. Young people's mental health should me more important, including professional athletes.

Boring men playing a boring game.

Not hefty enough- they should have been hit with maximum penalty including being stood down for the entire season!

At least the dopes are referred to as players. Over at 9NewsSyd they were referred to as “stars” which they certainly are not. Hate the media overuse of that word.

Hefty ya think ? Wet lettus leaf

Uploaded to Instagram Huh. Intelligence of NRL players? Duhh. Get what they deserve! 🔄

Those fines are a joke given the 60% discount! And now the NRL looks to enjoy social freedoms the rest of us cannot during this crisis. I’m all for sports recommencing, but only once the wider community has the same restrictions lifted.

Just for show. They are First Australians and won't be asked to pay the fines. Only Second Australians have to pay fines. First Australians give us their rich culture.

Brainless sports thugs: Australia's royalty

They won’t pay any fine 😠

...flannies going cheap?

If they weren’t high profile no one would be saying F.A and especially lame stream media who don’t even know what investigative journalism is anymore.More people need to wake up to this plandemic and let real eyes realise real lies.

Again, ordinary people doing the hard yards. Privileged doing whatever they want.

what about alleged firearms offences contracts torn up

No they do not Hefty fines I am furious As a Rabbitohs member This is appalling

Yeah it's a tough life getting hundreds of thousands of dollar to LITERALLY do nothing... and they can't even do that right...

Sorry I got distracted by the photo. Are flannelette shirts back?

the faces of entitlement

Tourist in Mascot, across the road party on their balcony most weekends, girls sing dreadfully till all hours of the morning 😂 Sexy trainer, at the end of the road, trains his clients 2, 3 at a time on his balcony; don't see what the fuss is about.

meatheads

Brain dead rugger players

Shouldn't it be left up to the police to do that?

Bone heads

Not hefty enough.

Normal rules don’t seem to apply to the nrl. I wonder why. scottygoestothefooty

I think a lot of you are forgetting that he played the race card,.... Soooooooo,... Conversation over,... Right?

It's ok, they were being sarcastic.

What they should have done is stone a wombat or two to death -they’d have got off scot free, amarite SAPoliceNews

It’s no big deal. No one is getting a free kick due to cultural or racial factors. Put simply, intellect & sensibility is not a requirement in this alleged profession, so you shouldn’t expect anything else from those involved. Chill.

Disgraceful 'suck-up' mentality demonstrated by NRL, not surprising. WELL DONE to the players for standing up against DRACONIAN INSANITY. But in the future perhaps post the pic day 1 after the rubbish rules are discarded.

The fines should not be suspended period Joe public gets the full fine. Why treat these prats differently. Hit it the where it hurts in yhe hip pockets. Aggrogant pricks. The going to pay the race card again and again.

Role models- in their dreams!

The NRL will never be able to control players in quarantine, they’re going to be out at the first chance they get.

Nice matching shirts.. 😂🤦‍♂️

Sack them. This would not have been half as big of a story if they didn’t play the race card. How many people missed out on their cultural gatherings over this holy period in April? Yet their cultural experience, shooting guns and motorbike riding, is more important? Knob heads

NRL wow we thought there was only one team of cowboys, switched off league years ago when everyone was confusing bad behaviour with mental health issues. I swear ossified I just bumped into him.

Why would the players think that those rule applied to them. Management of NRL have behaved like rules of a pandemic don’t included them.

Ban them for life!

Hey BRO!! Spare a some cash?Bro Short in cash here.

Matching flannos though!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

NRL players will comply and respect all public health ...... hahahahahhaha ... couldn't even finish it with a straight face

They don’t care

It's a joke , really come on. They going to get closer then that on the football field. An who really cares what they were doing. Enjoying life. But that seems to be a criminal offense now.

I guess they are not satisfied by simply playing with their balls.

Sorry, But the government cannot believe that the NRL can ever control packs of these guys in isolation for weeks or months. They will be sneaking out all over the place. The concept of locking up young testosterone driven & impulsive guys is flawed. It's asking for big trouble.

What a Disgraceful penalty given to these players No wonder the NRL is going Backwards

The NRL think fines will suffice. This is a public health issue. We simply cannot trust NRL players to respect the rules in place and the government should not be hoodwinked by the NRL. The issue is too critical.

nrl - the most stupid and toxic group of players in any sport - worldwide. These muppets should be the very last people out of quarantine, anywhere

NRL.......No Rule of Law...............

60% of the fines suspended

NRL players would still be laughing.

NRL?

Nobody seems to mention them riding trailbikes without helmets or other safety equipment?

I thought the fines were for their bad dress sense.

If they played for the dogs they would have got life.

They were just having fun

good job

NRL to support COVID-19 appThe National Rugby League (NRL) will work with the Australian Government to promote and encourage the use of its Coronavirus Contact App which will help trace the virus.\n\n I’m guessing Latrell and JAC are going to have to individually isolate prior to being allowed to train with their clubs, given today’s news of their activities. Well done lads for putting the whole competition in jeopardy. Govt could run a line through plans at any stage. there's an elephant that needs addressing. Ha ha. Whilst Josh Addo Carr and Latrell Mitchell go on camping trips. You guys really are a joke!
