Reports tonight coming out of Tuesday's ARLC meeting suggest that Shane Flanagan is set to be banned from the NRL indefinitely.
On Tuesday afternoon the Australian Rugby League Commitee met for the final time in 2018 to discuss a variety of matters.
Main points of speculation were the discussions of the Wests Tigers salary cap breach, relating to a miscommunicated deal between the club and life member Robbie Farah, and discussing Shane Flanagan's situation.
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 20014 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.
While the findings of the ARLC on the matter will not be released until Wednesday morning, reports are saying that on Wednesday morning Sharks officials will be required to attend a meeting during which they will receive the Integrity Unit's detailed report and the proposed consequences.
Flanagan has been invited to the meeting, and even if he appeals any breach notice, he would be banned from attending Cronulla training and matches until the process is complete.
After the ARLC meeting concluded, chairman Peter Beattie posted a range of tweets regarding the agenda of the meeting, stating that "Leading discussions at the ARLC today was a briefing on recent reports of assault and violence against women. The commission, together with the NRL, re-iterated that the game will continue to take a strong stance to combat violence against women."
This topic has become hot after a range of reports of players committing acts of violence against women have flooded the media during the off-season.
Beattie also said that the ARLC also approved a number of rule changes for the 2019 Telstra Premiership season, including a reduction to the scrum and drop-out clocks and approval on a ssmoother sin-bin of zend-off process.
