List of players sent off in National Rugby League matches

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of players sent off in NRL and NRL Women's matches since the reunification of rugby league in Australia after the Super League war in 1998. Referees have the option to send players from the field for a variety of reasons, but it has mostly been utilised for serious foul play in recent seasons.

In 2022 while playing for the South Sydney Rabbitohs, Taane Milne became the first player to be sent off in any NRL finals match. He was the first player sent off in an Australian first grade rugby league finals match since 1994.[1] No player has ever been sent off in any NRL Grand Final.

In the first round of the 2023 NRL Women's season, Ashleigh Werner became the first player to be sent off in any NRL Women's match.[2]

The tables below also has the result of any charges laid by the NRL match review and the resulting penalty (if any) laid by the NRL Judiciary.
