Warriors assistant coach Agar accepts three-game ban from NRL after alleged incident in Las Vegas.
The New Zealand Warriors' assistant coach, Richard Agar, has accepted a three-game ban imposed by the NRL after an alleged incident during halftime of the club's Round 1 loss to the Canberra Raiders in Las Vegas.
According to reports, journalist John Davidson claimed he was grabbed by the throat and verbally abused by Agar as the coaching staff passed through the press box to the players' change rooms.
The NRL handed Agar a breach notice, proposing a $10,000 fine (half suspended), a three-match suspension, and a requirement for Agar to undergo education and training.
The incident has been taken seriously by the NRL, with the integrity unit investigating the matter.
