PNGNRLC General Manager, Leith Isaac during a media conference this week said from all their match report statistics they have recorded a total of 32 players who have been placed on report and suspended for various on-field offences so far this season, which is quite alarming.
Apart from the 32 players suspended, Isaac also made mention of the suspension of four match officials and two franchise coaches, and three club officials including the three franchise clubs namely Muruks, Lahanis and Tigers who have been heavily fined for bringing the game into disrepute.
