- Andrew Abdo has written the coaches around the NRL to issue a warning
- This year, the NRL is taking serious measures to suppress a regulation
Andrew Abdo has issued a warning to the coaches of the league advising them by email that the NRL will have a tougher position this season at the club leaders who talk about party officials.
In an email that leaked to Courier mailThe NRL CEO, Abdo, usually wrote to the coaches of the league and told them that the NRL will be stricter this season when it comes to officiating comments made by coaches aimed at the referees.
The coaches were prohibited for the first time by the bosses of the League to talk about officials before the 2015 season.
“You can remember that the club's CEO meeting during Magic Round last year, where we discuss the public approach to the trade and comments of the coaches who sometimes only attend the attention of fans and the media about what in many cases are simply differences of opinion,” Abdo wrote in the filtered email.
'The consensus at the meeting was that the NRL should enforce the rules of public comments in relation to party officials more strictly.
'Please, can I ask you to advise your boss coaches and all club officials, that the existing public comments provisions of the NRL rules are more strictly applied in 2025.

The NRL 2025 season is underway, but the League head warned the coaches that any comments made during conferences or interviews after the match will not be tolerated
It appeared that the NRL had relaxed its rules in recent years, but will now adopt a stricter approach to hold the matter.
“This includes, among others, media conferences after the party, interviews with radio and television, and personal social networks or social networks.”
The League seemed to relax its position in recent years, but it seems that they will wear heavy with coaches who hit the referees in 2025.
No coach has been under the microscope so far this year, but the movement occurs after Penrith coach Ivan Cleary, dodged a fine last year.
It occurred when Cleary pointed to the bunker after the victory of his team against Cronulla in the preliminary finals last year, marking a decision made by the officials of the video party as “terrible.”
Meanwhile, Phil Gould received a non -compliance warning and a suspended fine of $ 20,000 in appeal, after he called the “stupid” game with 100 percent football.
