Note the Cronulla jumper on the wall behind the alleged perpetrator in the TV screen capture - imagine the outrage if it was a Bulldogs jumper.

Oztag player cops lifetime ban for knocking referee out cold

THE Oztag player banned for life for knocking out a teenage referee had already been given a 10-year ban from rugby league for threatening a match official.

Trevor Riley punched Travis Kelly on the face after he was sent off the field during his semi-final at St Marys for using inappropriate language last night.

Kelly was taken to Nepean Hospital suffering an injured jaw but was released a short time later.

It’s understood that Riley’s team were losing when he punched the 19-year-old, whose girlfriend had been watching the game.

Knocked out: Referee Travis Kelly was punched in the face by Trevor Riley.
Today Riley was bragging about the incident on Facebook.

“I hit the ref last night lol ... that cheat,” he wrote.

In 2013, Riley was given a 10-year ban from the league for his role in a vicious brawl at an under-19s match between West City Tigers and the Penrith Waratahs that saw 40 people, including spectators, kicking and punching one another.

According to the league charge sheet, his decade-long forced hiatus from the game was for “behave contrary and threaten match official.”


Riley bragged about the alleged assault on Facebook.
Other players were given punishments varying from 12 matches to 25 years.

Legendary former NRL referee and NSW Oztag boss Bill Harrigan said that the Oztag attack would earn boxing enthusiast Riley — whose Facebook photo says “I’m backing Floyd” in reference to this weekend’s megafight — a lifetime in the sinbin.

“Australian Oztag will be banning him for life. This bloke will never play Oztag again, a life ban in Oztag is a life ban. It’s not 10 years, it’s life,” said the former NRL referee.

“It’s not an alleged assault, it’s an assault. There were plenty of witnesses,” added a furious Harrigan.

Penrith Oztag CEO Jamie Howard said Kelly was recuperating today.

“He’s shaken up, he’s a bit sore. He’s coping OK.”

Riley was arrested shortly after the incident and charged assault occasion actual bodily harm. He was granted police bail to face court next month.


NSW Oztag CEO Bill Harrigan says Trevor Riley will never play again.
Riley was arrested in nearby Werrington Rd.

He was taken to Penrith Police Station, where he was charged with assault and granted bail to appear in Penrith Local Court on September 5.

Mr Howard said the association was also running its own investigation into the matter.

“We’re gathering reports from the opposition and witnesses, we’ll take it to our judiciary and it will go through a hearing. Based on that, we will give him a sentence.”

Looks like a cronulla supporter. Has "cronulla supporter" tattoos.
Probably has a "fuck off, we're full" sticker on the back window of his vp commodore, next to his bundy sticker.
