Revealed: NRL agents learn their fate after alleged fight outside a PUB during 2024 Australian Schoolboys carnival
NRL officials confirmed on Thursday they plan to ban Nash Dawson for nine months and Gavin Orr six months respectively over the alleged incident.
The duo will also be fined $15,000 and $10,000, with the pair given five business days to respond to the breach notices.
Combined, Dawson and Orr represent some of the game's best talent.
Dawson manages the affairs of many NRL stars, namely Broncos stars Ezra Mam and Reece Walsh, Dolphins fullback Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow and Roosters young gun Robert Toia.
Orr is the owner and director of sport at Pacific Sport Management, whose talent list includes Eels pivot Dylan Brown, Broncos winger Selwyn Cobbo, Melbourne Storm halfback Jahrome Hughes and Dragons veteran Valentine Holmes.
'The notices allege that both agents have breached the NRL Accredited Agent Scheme Rules and the Accredited Agents' Code of Conduct following a physical altercation at the Australian Secondary Schools Rugby League Championships in 2024,' the NRL said in a statement.
'It is also alleged the agents failed to co-operate with the NRL integrity unit.
'Under the Accredited Agents' Code of Conduct, Accredited Agents are required to operate with high personal and professional standards.'
The altercation is believed to have happened outside of a pub, while the pair were in Port Macquarie on the Mid North Coast of NSW last year during the Australian Secondary Schools Rugby League Championships.
Realistically, the impact on either of the pair's clients is likely to be minimal, given Dawson and Orr's colleagues can handle matters in their absence.
It comes after fellow agents Mario Tartak and Matthew Desira were also recently handed bans from the NRL for breaches of the accredited agent scheme.
Tartak - who is the director of Crown Sports Management - has Damien Cook and Josh Addo-Carr on his books.
He has been proposed a 12-month suspension and $25,000 fine while Desira is facing a six-month suspension and $10,000 fine.
Desira is the director of Aria Management Group, with Jayden Campbell, Greg Marzhew and Bronson Xerri key clients.

Aussie dog walker shares the chilling moment his Beagle Benji discovered a human skull in Port Lincoln bushland
A dog walker has described the 'surreal' moment his Beagle Benji stumbled across what police believe to be the severed head of an alleged murder victim. The grisly discovery was made in scrubland near Port Lincoln in South Australia on Thursday and comes six weeks after Julian Story's suspected murder. His partner, former Beauty and the Geek contestant Tamika Chesser, has been charged with his murder but is yet to be formally interviewed by police. Tyson McCallum said his routine dog walk took a dramatic turn when Benji ran into bushland and wouldn't come back when called. 'I just went in a bit closer and kind of made the connection pretty quickly as to what I thought it was,' McCallum told 9News. '(It was) pretty surreal to be honest,' he added. 'I was kind of like, "No way, it's not what I think it is, surely not". But it was too coincidental.' Police believe the remains are Mr Story's, though forensic testing is underway to formally confirm the identity. 'They've obviously been through a lot, can't even imagine it,' McCallum said. 'To have it I guess finalised, they can get some closure which will hopefully bring them some peace.' As for Benji, McCallum said the sharp-nosed pup would be rewarded. 'He will definitely get a few extra treats,' he said. Chesser has been charged with murder and with interfering with human remains to pervert the course of justice. Authorities on Friday expanded their search of the area, with police and State Emergency Service crews (SES) combing the reserve. Cadaver dogs were also deployed in the hunt for further remains. Forensic teams have collected several items from the scene, which have been sent to Adelaide for examination. Chesser appeared in Port Lincoln Magistrates Court with a shaved head via video link on Thursday in relation to three separate matters. The former cocktail waitress was thrust into the spotlight at the age of 19 when she appeared on series two of the Seven Network show in 2010.

How Finn Russell became the Lions' Andrea Pirlo... and why his cheeky little brother has been key to his domination Down Under
In the torrential rain at the North Sydney Oval on Thursday night, Finn Russell was desperately scrambling to recover the hat he had left in the back of an . He had travelled across town by himself to watch his brother, Archie, playing in a Lions Legends match. With no headwear, Russell stood on the sidelines with his hood up. An effort to keep a low profile and avoid being mobbed by the 8,000-strong crowd of rugby diehards. He joined his family in the cold as his younger sibling - shorter in stature with bleached blonde hair - ran out alongside the likes of Leigh Halfpenny and Shane Williams.
