A brawl during a junior rugby league match between Wyong and Lakes United at Morry Breen Oval on the Central Coast in March. The Wyong player attacks the referee and then his own captain.
THE Wyong junior player who bashed a referee and attacked his own captain has failed to show up for a Country Rugby League judiciary hearing into the violent incident at Kanwal.
CRL regional area manager Keith Onslow said the 16-year-old boy would remain suspended from “all facets of the game” until a future hearing.
“He received plenty of notice for this hearing at Newcastle, but was a no-show,” Onslow said.
“We have yet to schedule the next hearing for this matter, but he still faces a life ban.”

Wyong football manager Matt Lavin said the club had deregistered the player following the horrifying incident at Morry Breen Oval on March 13.“The club has banned him and it’s now in the CRL’s hands in terms of what broader action they decide to take,” Lavin said.
The youth was dealt with under the Young Offenders Act and police say he received an official warning in relation to the incident, The player’s brain snap started in the 55th minute of the trial game when he allegedly struck 21-year-old referee Shaun Greentree in the nose and mouth moments after being sent off the field.

“I couldn’t believe it happened,” Mr Greentree, who sustained a fat lip and cut to his nose in the vicious assault, said.
“It didn’t really sink in that I’d been punched until he started attacking his own captain on the ground. I then realised how serious the situation was … and that my safety was under threat.
“You never expect a player to touch you, let alone punch you twice. He had a third swing at me, but that missed. And I actually thought he was coming back for another dig at me, but that’s when he started attacking his own captain.
“I mentally blanked out as soon as I was punched.”
The rugby league brawl at Morry Breen Oval in March sent shock waves through the sport.
Both Onslow and Lavin said player numbers were still strong for the Central Coast junior rugby league season, which kicked off late last month.
What is wrong with these people - bashes the referee then his captain - yet RL want to bring back the biff!!!!
