Chairman POMRFL
The mayhem was unexpected.
All clubs knew the no crowd attendance stance taken during the regular season up to the Preliminary Finals guided by Standard Operating Procedure Policy created by Port Moresby Rugby Football League POMRFL and an endorsed document approved by the National Pandemic Controller's and National Control Centre. A similar one which use by all sporting bodies.
What happened was very sad indeed and also a bitter taste in the mayhem which unfortunately happened.
The Judiciary sat today (13/12/21) and made the following decisions in the context of the standard competition rules and guidelines, and guided by the constitution.
Decisions made are as follows;
1. Two brothers players - banned for 15 years.
2. Three Souths players - banned for 15 years.
3. One Souths player banned for 10 years.
4. One Souths official - banned for life.
5. Two clubs banned for 5 years and fined K5, 000.00 each.
6. 75% of the players and officials on the team sheets are banned for 5 years.
This means the players, officials and teams penalised in the two days (11 - 12/12/21) will not participate in any rugby league competition run by PNGRFL and any participation overseas.
7. After 5 years, the two clubs must pay a surety fee of K50, 000.00 each to re-enter the Port Moresby Rugby Football League Competition.
POMRFL Board endorsed this independent Judiciary Committee decision with deterance.
Appeal is going to be within the 24 hours of the decision, and the appeal will be dealt with by Papua Rugby Football League Inc.
This decision will be forwarded to PNGRFL.
