The NRL has given New Zealand Warriors’ assistant coach Richard Agar five days to respond before it fines and suspends him for an alleged altercation with a Guardian journalist during the side’s season-opening defeat against Canberra in Las Vegas.
League officials issued a breach notice to Agar on Monday after an investigation into the alleged incident, which proposes a $10,000 fine – half of which is suspended – as well as a three-match suspension and a requirement for Agar to undertake appropriate education and training.
