South Sydney Rabbitohs outside back Tyrone Munro has been stood down by the NRL under the game’s No-Fault Stand Down policy following charges laid by New South Wales Police earlier this month.
In a statement released by the league, the NRL confirmed that Munro has been issued the No-Fault Stand Down condition in accordance with NRL Rules.
“The National Rugby League (NRL) has advised South Sydney Rabbitohs player Tyrone Munro he is subject to the No-Fault Stand Down condition under the NRL Rules,” the statement read.
“The NRL is aware that New South Wales Police charged Munro with assault occasioning actual bodily harm, common assault and stalking or intimidation with intent to cause fear of physical or mental harm on October 14, 2025.”
The NRL added that the decision “should in no way be interpreted as a view on the innocence or guilt of the player.”
Under the terms of the policy, Munro is not permitted to participate in NRL or related competitions until the matter has been resolved or the stand down condition is lifted.
The No-Fault Stand Down policy, introduced in 2019, gives the NRL CEO discretionary powers to stand down players facing serious criminal charges while legal proceedings are ongoing.
Munro, 20, made his NRL debut for South Sydney in 2023, appearing in several top-grade matches before spending much of the 2025 season recovering from injury and playing in the NSW Cup.
South Sydney have yet to make a formal comment on the decision.
