Rising South Sydney Rabbitohs winger 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.
The 18-year-old outside back, considered one of South Sydney’s most promising young talents, was informed of the decision after being charged with multiple offences on October 14, 2025.
The NRL confirmed the decision in an official statement on Tuesday, stressing that the move does not reflect any judgment of Munro’s guilt or innocence.
“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 NRL said in an offical statement.

“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 decision should in no way be interpreted as a view on the innocence or guilt of the player.
“Under the condition, Munro is not permitted to participate in the NRL competition or related competitions.”
South Sydney released a statement at the time confirming it had informed the NRL Integrity Unit about the alleged incident and charges, adding that it “take all allegations of domestic violence very seriously and will take appropriate action if the allegations and charges are proven”.
Munro, who debuted in 2023 and quickly impressed with his pace and agility on the wing, will remain stood down from all NRL and related competitions until the legal process concludes or the NRL determines otherwise.
Munro was been granted conditional bail to appear in Burwood Local Court on Thursday 30 October 2025.
The NRL’s stance continues its consistent application of the No-Fault Stand Down rule, previously enforced in high-profile cases to uphold the code’s standards of conduct and accountability.
