Former NRL<\/a> bad boy Josh Dugan<\/a> found himself at the centre of fresh drama when he was sent off for throwing a punch in a bush footy match at the weekend.<\/p>\n

Dugan's Warriors won the match 26-16 and are now awaiting a preliminary final, but the 32-year-old could be set to receive a suspension.<\/p>\n

Dugan was on a contract worth about $850,000 at the Sharks in 2021, but he retired from the NRL and this year took up a deal with Orange United.<\/p>\n

He retired from the NRL after the Sharks terminated his contract due to a series of breaches of the league's COVID-19 protocols.<\/p>\n

Dugan played 215 NRL games between 2009 and 2021, as well as 12 Origin matches with the New South Wales Blues and five for Australia.<\/p>\n
