Rugby league legend Mark Coyne stood down as ARL Commissioner

It is understood Coyne reported the incident to the ARLC only on Tuesday, possibly following an inquiry from theARLC and NRL code-of-conduct rules make it obligatory for players, coaches and officers to self-report charges, even the prospect of being charged by police, whether overseas or in Australia.

Local lawyers say the hard line taken by authorities arose from Coyne’s alleged disrespectful language to police and his initial refusal to withdraw his comments when invited to do so. Coyne is the most recent addition to the ARLC board, joining in February, and while he initially expressed opposition to the ARLC’s automatic stand-down of any player charged with an offence carrying a penalty of 11 years or more, he later agreed, making the resolution unanimous.

The ARL hierarchy must lead by example. What’s good for the players equally applies to them. He must resign.

Applying the Israel Folau rule I guess SmartState1 should denounce Coyne as someone who is unwelcome in Rugby League

NRL you no how those Asian countries hate Aussies , stand by Coyne he was baited for sure

Singapore is not the place to misbehave

This is the man who, in his role as CEO of one of the largest insurers EML, determines that our injured police officers & firefighters are not worthy of compensation for injuries sustained in the line of duty. The shame he now feels doesn’t come close to that which he deserves!
