Catalans Dragons owner Bernard Guasch given stadium ban after physical contact with match official

Catalans Dragons owner Bernard Guasch has been suspended from attending any matches involving his club for four weeks after breaching the RFL’s Operational Rules.

Guasch was involved in an incident with referee Chris Kendall in the tunnel following the home defeat against Huddersfield Giants on June 3. The incident on June 3 involved Guasch using offensive language and questioning the integrity of a match official, and making physical contact.

Guasch has also been fined £10,000, of which £2,500 was suspended, for his comments about the match officials after the 2021 Betfred Super League Grand Final last autumn. Speaking after the 12-10 loss to St Helens at Old Trafford last October, Guasch said he would never again allow his side to play a final under English referees after being frustrated by the officiating at Old Trafford.
