Player agents Nash Dawson and Chris Orr ‘fail to co-operate' with NRL integrity unit over serious breach
The NRL have proposed heavy bans and fines to two player agents over an alleged physical altercation over a year ago.
Agents Nash Dawson and Chris Orr have five days to respond after they both issued with show cause notices for alleged breaches of the Accredited Agent Scheme Rules.
The NRL has proposed a nine-month suspension and $15,000 fine for Dawson, and a six-month suspension and $10,000 fine for Orr.
The league also said both agents failed to co-operate over the incident.
'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 between the agents 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.'
The pair were reportedly involved in a scuffle outside a pub in Port Macquarie during a schoolboy carnival in 2024.
Dawson has a number of high-profile clients including Reece Walsh, Ezra Mam and Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, while Orr's clients include Jahrome Hughes, Selwyn Cobbo and Dylan Brown.
