Valentine Holmes penalty

The National Rugby League (NRL) has finalised its determination of the Breach Notice issued to North Queensland Cowboys player Valentine Holmes on 13 September 2023.

The NRL has determined to impose the following penalty: a one (1) Match suspension, a fine in the amount of $25,000, a requirement to undertake appropriate remediation and attend such education and training as advised by the NRL.

The player was selected for the Australian Kangaroos squad today and will therefore serve the Match suspension in the Kangaroos’ first Test Match of the upcoming Pacific Championships.
