Flanagan Deregistered by NRL

Cronulla Sharks coach Shane Flanagan has today been deregistered by the NRL as part of a range of consequence inflicted on the club following yesterday’s ARLC meeting.

The NRL Integrity Unit recently undertook a review of a series of emails involving Flanagan and previous Sharks officials that were discovered this year.

The emails in question date back to the 2014 season, the season during which coach Flanagan was serving a 12-month ban (reduced to 9 months due to undergoing management and governance courses) due to his role in a lack of care for the welfare of players injected with peptides over a three-month period in 2011.
The club has also been handed an $800,000 fine by the NRL.
