Newcastle NRLW player Moran caused a stir over online comments she posted about following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Despite taking down the post, the NRL announced a proposed sanction of a one-match suspension and a suspended fine equating to 25 per cent of her salary.
Knights coach Ronald Griffiths came to the fullback’s defence, telling AAP: “The relationship between Indigenous people and the monarchy is a complicated one.”
“The RLPA believes a fine equivalent to 25 per cent of Caitlin’s salary, although suspended, is far too severe. Caitlin’s proposed financial punishment is another example of the inconsistent and disproportionate penalties handed down to players.
