Suspensions by NSWRL for Peak Hill, Trundle players and fans

An investigation was launched by NSWRL into the May 20 clash at at Lindner Oval which saw the Roosters come away 20-16 winners.

Nearly three weeks later and the investigation has been completed, with some hefty bans the result.

Roosters player Jyi Cohen pleaded guilty to breaching the Code of Conduct and has received a 24-week suspension. With two weeks already served, this means Cohen will be side-lined for the remainder of the 2023 Woodbridge Cup season. The suspension will be deemed served on November 20, 2023.

Peak Hill's Richard Hando, who was at the match as a spectator, pleaded guilty to breaching the Code of Conduct and accepted a 12-week suspension.

Peak Hill's Shannon Hando, who was at the match as a spectator, pleaded guilty to breaching the Code of Conduct and accepted a four-week suspension.

But it wasn't just Roosters who were found in the wrong.

Trundle Boomers' Connor Farrer was found guilty of breaching the Code of Conduct and accepted a two-week suspension which he has now served.

Farrer was also found not guilty of two other Code of Conduct charges.

"Trundle Boomers' Erica Stevenson and Mahe Fangupo were cleared of serious Code of Conduct charges but were served with a Concerning Acts Notice so there will be a record of this type of behaviour should they be involved in any incidents in the future," a NSWRL spokesman said.

"Following the hearings and charges from the NSWRL, the Woodbridge Cup Board will now consider their own penalties for the clubs in line with their own policies and by-laws."

Following the incident, Peak Hill implemented an immediate alcohol ban at their ground.
