Did they finally cave to inflation? Was $20 not so long ago...
If the video hasn't been leaked by tonight, I'll try remember to jump on, pay the $1 and screen record it.
Probably win those 3 weeks straight

Like mentioned previously the impact this has on us vs a Sydney side with the travelling is interesting.
It is also a unique incident as the only suspensions I can remember for coaches is Flanagan with the ASADA scandal and I think Bennett during covid as he didn't adhere to the restrictions.
The club should be asking for these to be clarified to see what they can and can't do.
The suspension prohibits Agar from performing any duties as assistant coach of the Warriors on the days the matches are scheduled,” a statement from the NRL read.
“Further, Agar is prohibited from travelling to any away match scheduled for the Warriors during the period of suspension.”
It looks like on match days he will have a day off.
For the days the team is away they should at what they can get him to do. One suggestion is on the away trips when we lose a day travelling have him busy preparing the upcoming weeks training.
Or scouting the next weeks opposition.
No press interviews during that time though.

I back Agar, it looks like the guy was following him and probably giving him shit.
They made it sound like the guy was in his work place and Agar went after him?
Has he actually been fined though??

Footage is behind a paywall unfortunately but says a shove occurred rather than a grab of the throat
The article says he’s facing a fine not that it’s been given
That’s it??????????
You can tell Agar is trying to walk away but the dickhead journo is baiting him
Absolutely nothing to look at
I’ve see more pushing when queuing up at the supermarket to buy groceries

This is so stupid.
Quick everyone go abuse this journo on Twitter!
Please note that the above statement is joke.
Anyway, I'm off to Twitter.
Didn't Buzz Rothfield say he saw it and said it was quite bad?
There aren't many people around unless there are more past the camera even then they need to be facing that way.
Looking at the footage it does seem like the punishment is out of proportion with the offence.
A fine of $10k with $5k suspended plus a suspension of 3 matches. That punishment would be fine if the footage did show him strangling the guy. If it's just a push the fine would have been enough.

While acknowledging it’s a storm in a teacup, I still cannot fathom physical altercations over words, outside of immediate threats of physical harm.
It’s the ultimate form of male weakness, the inability to control your emotions.

Please
You of all people
He didn’t punch him or grab him by the throat
He shoved him and probably told him to fuck off
It's not much but it's still dumb.
Particularly if you want your players controlling themselves
Yes me of all people.

If the NRL is investigating this incident via video , they’ll ask for 10 different camera angles
And still get it wrong.
Can the Wahs appeal with a captains challenge here? Utter bullshit and punishment is not in proportion to the crime.
I’d be challenging this if possible - especially the 3 week suspension.

Reminds me of the Vaimaunga shirt grab on Cleary that got him sent off a couple of years ago… while everyone pushes and shoves every other game.
You are correct.
But.
British journalists are world renowned for doing everything they can to get reactions out of people. Absolute bottom dwellers.
I'd challenge your ability to control yourself if you were in the same situation.
