“The 13 players’ arrogance and ignorance to both the NRL biosecurity protocols and the state government’s public health order is upsetting and infuriating,” Webb said.
“Every member of the club’s Apollo register were communicated their responsibilities and limitations under level four protocols on numerous occasions.
“All 13 players have let the rest of their teammates,the entirety of our hard-working staff,their families,the wider community and most importantly our Red V members,partners and fans,down.
“The entire club and our stakeholders will now be punished as a result of the combined 20-week suspension procured between the 13 players.
“The Dragons hold no reservations over the punishments handed down by the NRL Integrity Unit or NSW Police given the players’ complete disregard for both the game and community’s expectations.”
