The National Rugby League (NRL) has suspended Newcastle Knights player Phoenix Crossland for 1 match and fined him $900, with 50 per cent suspended for 12 months, after he was involved in an altercation with a patron at a Newcastle pub.
In determining the penalty, the NRL took into account that the player proactively reported the incident, co-operated with the Integrity Unit and written submissions made in response to a Breach Notice.
