Post-game fight could spark junior NSWRL crackdown
« on: February 09, 2022, 04:51:12 AM »
An altercation between a junior Manly player and a spectator in Canberra could prompt a NSW Rugby League crowd crackdown in the coming months. The Canberra Raiders have handed all information to the NSWRL following a Harold Matthews Cup post-game incident at Kippax last weekend. Raiders chief executive Don Furner says the club will not increase its security presence at home games for the junior sides despite growing concerns surrounding games in Sydney, or involving clubs based in Sydney. Furner stressed incidents were rare and did not want to comment on the circumstances of last weekend as the NSWRL prepares its own investigation. The lack of footage of the incident in Canberra has complicated matters for NSWRL officials, who are trying to piece together what happened.
