New Zealand rugby league international Nita Maynard has reportedly become the first NRLW player to be charged over an off-field incident.
Maynard has featured for the Sydney Roosters in the women's NRL competition as well as New South Wales in State of Origin and represented the Māori All Stars earlier this year.
AAP reports the 28-year-old has been charged after allegedly assaulting two security guards at a Sydney pub. She was arrested after being asked to leave the Northies hotel in Cronulla on Friday.
She had to be restrained after becoming aggressive and assaulting the security guards, police told AAP.
Maynard was part of the Roosters side that made the women's NRL final last season and is currently playing for the North Sydney Bears in the lead-up to the new NRLW season.
