Gallen fined for potty mouth tweet
Cronulla captain Paul Gallen has been handed a $50,000 fine and provisional suspension from the Kangaroos side for his foul-mouthed tirade on twitter last week.
Gallen has a week to respond to the breach notice and explain any mitigating factors that might have contributed to his twitter brain-snap while holidaying in Hawaii.
The NRL imposed the heaviest possible code of conduct fine on the Sharks and NSW captain.
He will be ineligible for Australian selection next year unless he successfully completes a leadership course.
