Leading NRL player managers facing long bans for breaching agent rules

  • The NRL has proposed suspensions and fines for two player agents, Mario Tartak and Matthew Desira, on 2025-06-05 for breaches in Australia.
  • These sanctions were issued after breach notices accused Tartak of contacting a minor without a parent or legal guardian present, while Desira was penalized for failing to report police charges and court cases.
  • Mario Tartak, who manages players such as Josh Addo-Carr and Damien Cook, is facing a 12-month suspension along with a $25,000 penalty, while Matthew Desira has been given a proposed six-month suspension and fined $10,000.
  • Both agents have five business days to respond, and Tartak has engaged legal representation and plans to contest the claims.
  • The penalties reflect the NRL's enforcement of Accredited Agent Scheme Rules and could affect negotiations for players with contracts expiring this year or next.
