Overview

  • The NRL Integrity Unit has proposed a nine-month suspension and a $15,000 fine for Nash Dawson and a six-month suspension and $10,000 fine for Chris Orr under the Accredited Agent Scheme Rules.
  • Both agents allegedly breached the Accredited Agents’ Code of Conduct and failed to cooperate with the Integrity Unit after a 2024 physical altercation outside a pub at the Australian Secondary Schools Rugby League Championships in Port Macquarie.
  • The proposed sanctions are enforced under the Accredited Agent Scheme Rules, which mandate that agents maintain high personal and professional standards.
  • The disciplinary measures follow similar show-cause notices against Mario Tartak and Matt Desira last month, reflecting an ongoing regulatory crackdown within the league.
  • Dawson and Orr represent leading NRL talent, including Reece Walsh, Ezra Mam, Dylan Brown, Jahrome Hughes and Selwyn Cobbo, highlighting the potential ripple effects on player representation.
