The National Rugby League, Player Association delegates and club Chief Executives Stephen Noyce, Todd Greenberg, Shane Richardson and Bruno Cullen will form a committee to develop guidelines on recommended penalties for off field misbehaviour.
The NRL remains committed to the view that clubs should be the primary point for player discipline with the NRL further acting only in those cases where it believes the action was insufficient.
The NRL does not believe that a separate judicial body would be appropriate. Nor does it believe the concept would be practical in dealing with incidents likely to involve parties with no contractual or other association with the NRL and in circumstances where the ability to call those parties to give evidence would be in severe doubt.
There is a wish however to give clubs and players more clarity about the sort of penalties they should consider in the context of a player’s history within the club.
The NRL also hopes the process will assist clubs and players in understanding when the NRL is likely and unlikely to intervene.
