NRL statement on BlueBet Stadium incident

The National Rugby League (NRL) has completed a review into an allegation of racial vilification towards South Sydney Rabbitohs player Latrell Mitchell in Round 2.

The NRL confirmed today it had issued a notice intending to ban a spectator from attending NRL events until such time as the young person can establish that sufficient steps have been taken to address their behaviour.

These steps will include apologising and completing appropriate training and education in respectful behaviour and cultural awareness.

The NRL thanks Latrell Mitchell for reporting this matter and reaffirms that no form of vilification will be tolerated in rugby league.

The spectator has five business days to respond to the notice.
