<\/p>\nThe NRL has threatened to suspend two of the game’s most powerful player agents over a physical altercation while away at a schoolboys competition last year.<\/p>\n
NRL officials confirmed on Thursday that they planned on banning Nash Dawson for nine months and Gavin Orr six months over the incident.<\/p>\n
The duo will also be fined $15,000 and $10,000 respectively, with the pair given until late next week to respond to the breach notices.<\/p>\n
Combined, Dawson and Orr represent some of the NRL’s best talent.<\/p>\n
Dawson looks after the affairs of Ezra Mam, Reece Walsh, Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow and Robert Toia, among others.<\/p>\n
Orr is the owner and director of sport at Pacific Sport Management, whose talent list includes Dylan Brown, Selwyn Cobbo, Jahrome Hughes and Valentine Holmes.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n
“It is also alleged the agents failed to co-operate with the NRL integrity unit.<\/p>\n
“Under the Accredited Agents’ Code of Conduct, Accredited Agents are required to operate with high personal and professional standards.”<\/p>\n
The altercation is believed to have happened outside of a pub, while the pair were in Port Macquarie last year.<\/p>\n
Realistically, the impact on either of the pair’s clients is likely to be minimal, given Dawson and Orr’s colleagues from the same companies can handle matters.<\/p>\n
It comes after show-cause notices handed to fellow player agents Mario Tartak and Matt Desira proposed sanctions of fines and bans last month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The NRL has threatened to suspend two of the game’s most powerful player agents over a physical altercation…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34222,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,21683,31381,31383,761,762,158,31382,31384,13391,85],"class_list":["post-34221","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-ezra-mam","tag-gavin-orr","tag-nash-dawson","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-physical-altercation","tag-player-agents","tag-reece-walsh","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34221","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34221"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34221\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34222"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34221"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34221"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
