Adam Reynolds and Pat Carrigan, the celebrity combination of the Brisbane Broncos, were caught on camera engaging in a scuffle during a night out, and now the NRL is about to penalize them.
Both vice captain Carrigan and captain Reynolds of the Broncos have issued an apology for their altercation, which was captured on camera and made public on social media.
Although Brisbane chose not to suspend the two, the NRL’s integrity section intervened and gave the players five business days to address charges that they had broken the code of conduct.The NRL said in a statement issued on Friday afternoon that “both players are alleged to have engaged in a physical altercation in public which has brought the game into disrepute.”
“The NRL has reminded other players involved in the incident of their responsibilities under the NRL Code of Conduct.”Should Reynolds and Carrigan receive a suspension, they will be unable to participate in the Broncos’ season-opening game against the Sydney Roosters in Las Vegas on March 3.
In a trial match on Sunday in Mackay, Brisbane takes on North Queensland, with Reynolds and Carrigan starting.
Prior to the violation warnings being sent out, Brisbane coach Kevin Walters downplayed the matter in remarks earlier this week.
