‘Shattered’ Storm star Christian Welch cops $10k fine over bubble breach – Fox Sports
Melbourne Storm prop Christian Welch has been hit with a $10,000 fine after being served with a breach notice by the NRL for breaching COVID-19 protocols overnight Thursday.
26-year-old Welch invited an unregistered guest into the teams Sunshine Coast hub just hours before the team was set to finish its 14-day quarantine at midnight Friday morn, which would have seen Welch freed of strict biosecurity restrictions.
Instead, Welch was stood down by the club and has now been hit with a $20,000 fine, with half that amount suspended. He will also miss Saturdays clash with Wests Tigers as he remains in isolation awaiting the results of a COVID-19 test.
