NSW Oztag does not condone violence of any kind, particularly at our events or venues.
We refer to the incident that occurred at Lakemba’s Parry Park on the evening of Monday, 23 September. A comprehensive report will be prepared by Canterbury Oztag Association and submitted to Australian Oztag for review.
Any players found to have been involved in this incident will face bans in accordance with our Code of Conduct. While initial reports and footage suggest the individuals involved were not dressed to participate in Oztag at the time, the proximity of this brawl to one of our venues is of serious concern.
NSW Oztag, in partnership with Australian Oztag, will fully investigate the matter and take appropriate action against any person associated with Oztag who is identified as being involved.
Our priority remains ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment for all participants, families, and supporters within the Oztag community.
