The NRL has issued Gold Coast Titans coach Des Hasler with a final warning for direct and targeted criticism of NRL Match Officials.
The final warning relates to comments made by Mr Hasler following Round 13 of the 2025 NRL Telstra Premiership, as well as previous public statements regarding officiating.
Mr Hasler has been reminded of his obligations under the NRL Rules and Code of Conduct as well as his general responsibility as a sporting leader.
Negative public remarks about Match Officials significantly hinder the recruitment and retention of Match Officials at the community and pathways tiers of the game.
All Rugby League participants are reminded to respect Match Officials who perform a vital role within the game.
