NRL<\/a> players will face the heaviest fines in the game's history in a desperate bid to stop off-field scandals.<\/p>\n

Under the plan devised by Australian Rugby League Commission chairman Peter V'landys and NRL chief executive Andrew Abdo<\/a>, misbehaving players will be liable for fines of up to $130,000, according to The Sydney Morning Herald<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Players were told about the NRL's intention to increase the maximum fine from $50,000 during recent club visits, which came after a spate of breach notices for COVID-related offences and improper conduct.<\/p>\n

Under current rules a player can't be fined more than $50,000, but the NRL wants the new figure established before the start of the 2022 season.<\/p>\n

"The maximum fine hasn't increased from $50,000 for a long time and we've been criticised for not having sufficient penalties," V'landys said. "We haven't introduced it yet as it is still in the consultation stage.<\/p>\n

"The maximum fine may never get applied, but if you have a situation where you need it, you should have the right to apply it. Yet if the players don't do the wrong thing they will have nothing to worry about it."<\/p>\n

The NRL is on track to hand out more than $1 million in fines for off-field player indiscretions this year.<\/p>\n

In just the last month, it has fined Josh Dugan ($50,000), Adam Elliott ($10,000), Lachlan Lewis ($10,000) and Matt Lodge ($5000) for various offences.<\/p>\n
