1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: The NRAL has issued a breach notice to Warriors assistant

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: coach Richard Agar after an altercation with a journalist during

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: the first NRL round in Las Vegas.

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 2: You'll remember this.

5
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: It was in the news The Big League podcast host

6
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: Nathan Limmers with us, good afternoon.

7
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 2: Hey Ryan, how are you good? Thank you? So he

8
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 2: grabbed him by the throat, didn't he? Yeah.

9
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 3: So, basically at halftime between the Warriors and the Raiders,

10
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 3: Richard Aga and the other coaches were descending down to

11
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 3: see the players from the coach's box and it's alleged

12
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 3: that Richard Agar got into a verbal altercation with an

13
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 3: Australian journalist from The Guardian, which resulted in him grabbing

14
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 3: him by the throat and pushing him. So the NRAL

15
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 3: have launched an investigation into this. The Warriors coach and

16
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 3: CEO both backed to Agar after this sort of came out,

17
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 3: and so they've issued this breach notice, suspending him for

18
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 3: three games, ten thousand dollars fine, and he has to

19
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 3: undergo I guess some education of some sort of education

20
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 3: course around this sort of thing. Grab been thrown, not

21
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 3: grabbing throats would be the lesson that he needs to lose.

22
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: So this has come from the NRL because I found

23
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: it interesting that Warriors said we're going to do our

24
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: own investigation.

25
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: What does that mean? Nothing?

26
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I guess that means they'll talk to

27
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 3: Agar and get his side.

28
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 2: Of the storm. They didn't do anything, did they.

29
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 3: Well, we don't know exactly what has gone on behind

30
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 3: the scenes, but the effectively what this band means is

31
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 3: the suspension means that he can't perform assistant coaching duties

32
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 3: on match days, so we can still be with the

33
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 3: team during the week, and he can't travel to the

34
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 3: team for their array games within this three game period.

35
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 3: So there are two away games coming up against this

36
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 3: Tigers and the Storm, he won't be able to make

37
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 3: the trip over.

38
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: What's the Warriors saying about it? You've checked them?

39
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I've just reached out to the Warriors and

40
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 3: have just got back to me saying that they have

41
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 3: no response to this breach. Notice, they have five days

42
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 3: to respond. They're not going to respond, which effectively means

43
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 3: they accept it and they're not going to appeal it.

44
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: Okay, interesting, Thanks so much for that, Nathan. Good to
